In the next of our Partner Spotlights, we focus on Castell Howell, who continue to show their support of our Women's programme.
At Castell Howell, we believe in the power of sport to inspire, unite, and create positive change. That’s why supporting women’s football is a natural fit for us. As a company deeply rooted in local communities, we understand the impact that investing in grassroots and professional women’s football can have—not just in developing talent but also in promoting inclusivity and equal opportunities in sport.
Women’s football has seen remarkable growth in recent years, with increasing participation at all levels. However, there is still work to be done to ensure female athletes receive the same opportunities, visibility, and investment as their male counterparts. By supporting women’s football, Castell Howell is playing a role in breaking down barriers and empowering the next generation of female players.
Our commitment extends beyond financial sponsorship; we see this as an opportunity to help build a culture where women’s sport is valued and celebrated. It aligns with our core values of community, fairness, and ambition—values that drive everything we do as a business.
Gayle Budden, Head of HR at Castell Howell, says: "At Castell Howell, we champion inclusivity in all areas, and supporting women’s football is a reflection of that. Sport has the power to change lives, and by investing in the women’s game, we are helping to create more opportunities for female athletes to thrive both on and off the pitch."
Together, we can help shape a future where women’s football continues to flourish.
