West Hants nets Ellis Jones as a Business Partner

Posted on 02nd Jul 2017

 

West Hants officials are celebrating after the long-established tennis club netted Ellis Jones Solicitors as a business partner.

 

The Dorset and New Forest law firm has signed a three-year sponsorship deal with the 3,000 member club.

 

The partnership allows Ellis Jones free use of the conference facilities at West Hants’ Roslin Road South site in Bournemouth.

 

The law firm will also host the club’s annual sponsors day with an opportunity to support other events hosted by West Hants throughout the year.

 

Other benefits for Ellis Jones include corporate membership rates for its team and also signage/advertising around the club.

 

Nigel Smith, Managing Partner, said: “The partnership presents an excellent opportunity to access a great client base in order to promote our legal services and build relationships with both private and commercial clients. The club has a thriving community and is very proactive with its business partnerships. We look forward to forging close links with West Hants over the coming years.”

 

Peter Elviss, Chief Executive of The West Hants Club, added: “Business Partnerships provide financial support to cover coaches fees, national and international competitive opportunities and scholarships to talented youngsters who may not normally have access to professional coaches and support.”

 

The partnership renews links between Nigel Smith and West Hants going back nearly 50 years.

 

Nigel said: “West Hants hosted the British Hard Court Championships from 1927 until 1983.  My Mum, a massive tennis fan aged 82, reminds me that I was there as a four-year-old in 1968 watching the championship with her.  One of my many claims to fame is that Rod Laver, one of the greatest players of the time, patted me on the head as he walked past!”    

 

A total of £8 million has been spent since 1999 on transforming the West Hants into a prestigious and luxurious facility.

 

The club boasts internationally renowned clay tennis courts, an indoor tennis centre, four squash courts, a state of the art gymnasium, two air-conditioned fitness studios as well as an indoor heated swimming pool and a dedicated high performance gym.
