Llanelli Scarlets
The WRW Group is extremely proud that the famous red shirt of the Llanelli Scarlets rugby team carries the group logo. The Scarlets are one of the most famous rugby sides in the world and are the Welsh flag bearers in European and domestic competitions.
The sponsorship deal was cemented in 2005, when WRW Group stepped up to be the club’s Main Sponsor after being involved in several sponsorship deals at Stradey Park over many years.
Group chairman Robert Williams described the sponsorship deal as literally a red-letter day for both the club and the group. “We have a lot in common, not least a pride and passion for the region and a commitment to the Welsh language,” he said.
Scarlets legend Ray Gravell, who was President of Llanelli Scarlets, was also a Director of WRW Group. Ray’s passion for the Scarlets was boundless, having played more than 250 games for the club and he was the youngest member of the famous 1972 team that beat the All Blacks. He played 23 times for Wales and was an outstanding member of the 1980 British Lions team in South Africa, being the only player to feature in all four Test matches.
Raymond sadly passed away on the 31st October 2007, but his unparalleled links between the Williams Family, WRW and the Scarlets will forever remain in our thoughts.
