Principle Fork Lifts Sponsors Feltham RFC
Strengthening Community Bonds Through Rugby
At Principle Fork Lifts, we’ve always believed that supporting local communities is just as important as providing top-tier services to our customers. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our official sponsorship of Feltham RFC, a club with a rich history and a deep connection to the people in this area. This partnership is about more than just branding on a jersey — it’s about giving back to a community that has given us so much.
A Connection Rooted in History
Feltham RFC is no ordinary rugby club. Founded in 1947 by a group of former students from Twickenham Technical College, the club’s story is one of resilience, growth, and community. From washing down after games with an outdoor hosepipe at Spelthorne Social Club to playing on the historic fields at Hanworth Airpark, Feltham RFC has always found a way to thrive. It’s this spirit of perseverance that resonated deeply with us at Principle Fork Lifts.
This connection is even more personal for us because our founder, Peter Kingham, is a proud Feltham RFC alum. Peter dedicated over 20 years to the club and even won the Hancock Trophy for Feltham in 1976. His experiences on the field shaped him as both a player and a person, and it’s this shared history that made sponsoring Feltham RFC feel like a natural fit.
Why Feltham RFC?
At Principle Fork Lifts, we understand the importance of teamwork, both in business and in sport. Rugby, much like our industry, demands coordination, effort, and trust among teammates. Feltham RFC exemplifies these values, making them the perfect partner for us as we continue to grow and support the local community.
Feltham RFC is more than just a rugby club — it’s a hub for local engagement and personal development. It provides a place for people of all ages and backgrounds to come together, work as a team, and grow both physically and mentally. By sponsoring this historic club, we’re not just supporting rugby; we’re helping sustain a vital part of our community’s fabric.
What This Sponsorship Means
We’re incredibly proud to see Feltham RFC take to the pitch wearing their new Principle Fork Lifts – branded kit for the 2024/25 season. This sponsorship goes beyond logos on jerseys; we’re providing essential funding that will help the club invest in better facilities, training equipment, and development programs for young players. Our goal is to ensure that Feltham RFC can continue to foster talent, encourage fitness, and bring people together for many years to come.
Our founder, Peter Kingham, reflected on this special partnership, saying, “Feltham RFC played a significant role in my life, and being able to give back to the club is a true honour. I hope that through this sponsorship, we can help the club continue its legacy and provide opportunities for future generations of players.”
… from the Chairman
Terry Walters, Chairman of Feltham RFC, shared his enthusiasm for the sponsorship, recognising the impact it will have on the club’s future:
“We’re absolutely delighted to have Principle Fork Lifts as our official sponsor this season. Their support comes at a crucial time for the club, and having a former player like Peter Kingham back us is truly special. This partnership will provide a tremendous boost to the team, allowing us to invest in better resources and continue developing grassroots rugby in the local community. We’re proud to wear the Principle Fork Lifts name on our jerseys and look forward to building a long-lasting relationship with such a dedicated and community-focused company.”
