Lookers Vauxhall sponsors Solihull Barons

Tie-up for local company.

Lookers Vauxhall in Yardley has gone the extra mile by becoming the title sponsor for the Solihull Barons’ current season in the National Ice Hockey League.

Renamed the Lookers of Yardley Solihull Barons IHC, the team continues their campaign in the N1 Moralee Conference away at Sheffield Senators on 17th October, after securing promotion as league winners last season.

Whilst the sponsorship deal will primarily help to support the club throughout the season with the costs of both training and matches, Lookers of Yardley is also on board to help support captain Rob Eley’s testimonial year. Hanging up his skates at the end of the season after an illustrious career at the Barons, Rob aims to raise over £20,000 for the Heart of England NHS Foundation as part of his 19 for 19 campaign. To help support the campaign, Lookers will be helping Rob to offer a brand new car as part of a fundraising prize draw.

Located on Stockfield Road, Lookers Vauxhall Yardley is proud to support a number of community and grass roots projects, including sports teams and charities. Offering new and pre-owned Vauxhall cars, alongside expert advice, the Lookers Vauxhall Birmingham group also includes dealerships in Star City and Selly Oak.

Mark Bryan, General Manager at Lookers Vauxhall Yardley, said: “We’re delighted to be sponsoring Solihull Barons’ upcoming season, further strengthening our support of local teams and community projects. We’re passionate about delivering great service, which we think fits perfectly with the team’s passion and ambition on the ice. We wish them all the best for the season ahead and look forward to being involved with the “19 for 19” campaign too.”

Rob Eley, captain of the Lookers of Yardley Solihull Barons IHC, added: “It’s great to have Lookers of Yardley on board as our main sponsor this season; the financial support is invaluable in allowing us to grow and develop as a club. I’m also extremely grateful to the Lookers team for their support with my testimonial year campaign, and look forward to working with them throughout the year both on and off the ice.”
