Cardiff Blues is delighted to announce on the eve of the new season that HSS Hire is to continue its long and successful sponsorship with the leading RaboDirect PRO 12 club.

The name and logo of HSS Hire, the UK’s award-winning tool and equipment hire chain, will once again be emblazoned on the sleeve of all three playing jerseys for Cardiff Blues during the 2013/14 season.

HSS Hire has been a long-term sponsor of the Blues and has once again underlined its support ahead of the big league kick-off this week for Phil Davies and his squad.

Richard Holland, Chief Executive at Blues, said: “We are delighted that such a high profile, successful and important partner in HSS Hire has decided to extend its commitment to the club.

“We’ve enjoyed a strong relationship over many years and we now look forward to continuing to work closely with HSS Hire this season and beyond.”

Steve Barrett, Regional Director for HSS activity in the South-West and Wales, said: “We are delighted to have extended our relationship with the Cardiff Blues – it’s been a great partnership over the last few years and we are proud to be associated with and support such a major Welsh sporting icon. We wish them a successful season”.
