Barnes RFC is very fortunate to have a generous and loyal sponsorship base which allows the Club to invest in a positive and supportive playing environment which is critical to our current and future success at this level. We have over 50 different sources of sponsorship, ranging from the free provision of services or goods (such as printing, kit laundry, fruit etc) to cash sponsorship from businesses and individuals.

We offer a very wide range of sponsorship opportunities such as match ball or player sponsorship for £250, home match/lunch sponsorship or programme advertising from £750 upwards and full corporate sponsorship packages from £5,000 upwards. These are just a few of the very wide range of sponsorship opportunities available.

Barnes RFC is particularly well supported by current and past players and friends of the Club who live or have businesses in and close to the attractive and affluent village of Barnes.

As we build on our successes and plan for the future, we continue to seek new sponsors, both individuals and businesses. No amount is too modest. Please email sponsorship@barnesrfc.org to discuss ideas or for further information.

A professional service from the capital’s pioneers in basement excavation

The London Basement Company are the capital’s leading basement construction company.  We offer a full design and build service, from initial concept, through to design, construction and fit out to create a whole new floor level.   Whether you want to extend an existing basement, or construct a completely new basement, we can make a remarkable difference to your lifestyle.

Most of our clients agree, one of the main reasons for opting to form a new basement level is the lack of suitable living space balanced against the ever rising cost of moving to a larger property.  Perhaps you have invested time and money into a home you love and the children are settled in the local schools, but you have outgrown the house.   The London Basement Company’s solution means you can maximise your living space with absolute minimum disruption to your life. 

Why move when the space you need is under your feet?

The Waterford Group was formed in the early part of 2000 by Philip Moross, (the Managing Director of the General Partner) a seasoned real estate professional, whose principle area of expertise is in planning, development and sales of high value residential properties in London.

Waterford believes it can generate superior returns for its investors by employing a disciplined investment approach, making investments in individual, high value residential development schemes in desirable locations in London.

Waterford concentrates in a sector of the real estate market which is considered to be less volatile than most sectors and is reasonably protected against modest recessionary conditions. The high value residential market is generally not affected by a rising interest rate environment which has a negative effect on most sectors of the for-sale residential market.Waterford focuses on markets where:(a) it perceives favourable supply demand dynamics over medium to long term and (b) on developing in markets that allow for sales to take place in the near term.

In short Waterford aspires to acquire the “best” properties in locations where it has an intelligence advantage and it can secure a planning gain to reduce the risks ordinarily attached to speculative development.
