Nottingham Forest has announced a strengthening of its partnership with E.ON Next, who will now become a Principal and Front-of-Dress Partner for Nottingham Forest Netball.
Building on their established relationship with Nottingham Forest Football Club, this partnership represents a collaborative commitment from E.ON Next to support Forest’s expansion into elite netball, a dynamic new chapter for the Club and its fans.
Through this partnership, E.ON Next will be a driving force in the team’s growth, providing the resources and platform to support the development of not only Forest’s elite Netball Super League side, but also the Netball Performance League Pathway and the Community Roots programme.
As a Principal Partner, E.ON Next’s presence will be proudly displayed on the front of the Forest Netball dress across all teams, uniting both organisations’ ambitions to promote excellence and inclusivity in sport. Together, E.ON Next and Nottingham Forest Netball are creating opportunities to engage with fans, foster local talent, and inspire the next generation of netball players, in line with Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis’ vision to increase sporting participation across Nottinghamshire.
Paul Bell, COO of Nottingham Forest said, “We are thrilled to have E.ON Next as a key partner, and we look forward to working closely to make Nottingham Forest Netball a force in the sport. This partnership is a great example of E.ON Next’s forward-thinking approach to supporting women’s sport, and it reflects our shared values of community, ambition, and innovation.”
Scott Somerville, Director of External Affairs at E.ON, added, “Our support for Nottingham Forest Netball is a hugely significant strengthening of our existing partnership with Nottingham Forest and our work in supporting women’s sport. E.ON has a history of being a playmaker in Nottingham, and this new partnership will support our aim to inspire people — be it on the court, pitch or in their daily lives.”
This strengthened partnership between Nottingham Forest and E.ON Next will champion women’s sport, strengthen community ties, and inspire future generations of athletes and fans.
With thanks to Nottingham Forest Netball
