“We discussed various opportunities including partnerships with other local Super League clubs, but we always felt that Castleford Tigers was the right choice for our business and the one that would give us the most satisfaction and reward.”

GMB Union decided not to partner with Castleford in 2021, leaving room for a new partnership.

“Our business continues to grow year on year with many new local and national projects in the pipeline,” added Handforth and Williams.

“Thanks to the commitment and hard work of all the team at H&H, the company sits in a very healthy position which allows us to form these partnerships and financially support the club and the wider community.

“As a very successful local business based a stone’s throw away on Methley Road, we are looking forward to building the relationship whilst promoting the H&H Construction brand across our networks.

“It is always my priority to secure long-term agreements with our partners as this provides us some financial security and stability to plan for the future.

“Considering the ongoing situation that is hitting hard on many businesses up and down the country, there is not a more important time to be securing these relationships with very successful companies like H&H Construction.

“To commit to a substantial three-year partnership during a global pandemic is a credit to both John and Simon, and the success and stature of their company.

“It is important we continue to engage and affiliate ourselves with local businesses as a community club, and we are extremely proud of our newly found partnership with H&H Construction. I look forward to working alongside John, Simon and the team at H&H now and in the future.”
