Blackstar Solutions continue our partnership with the Bears into a fourth season, underlining our commitment to sport in the region.

Bristol Bears Chief Executive Mark Tainton said: “Blackstar Solutions were one of the companies that have been with us since the start of the Bears journey, so we are pleased to see that relationship continue to go from strength to strength.

“They have really embraced the opportunities and club vision, with a genuine focus on community engagement and developing grassroots sport in a fun and innovative way. We look forward to another positive year together.”

Blackstar Solutions branding will feature on the sleeve of both the mens and womens home and away strips once again in 2021/22.

CEO at Blackstar, Nick Smith, said: We’re pleased to announce the extension of our partnership with the Bears men and women teams for the upcoming season. We are incredibly proud of what the Bears have achieved over the last four seasons we’ve partnered with them.

“Their determination to inspire the community through success on and off the field is why we’ve decided to continue our partnership.

“We also share many of the same values and are aligned with the club’s vision and philosophy, which makes our decision a very easy one.

“We provide the telephony and internet connectivity at the new state of the art Bears and Robins High Performance Centres as well as improving the fan experience when calling into the support line by the phone solution we installed and support.

“I know our team are eager to get back to Ashton Gate and enjoy some exceptional rugby and the atmosphere the club has created around the matchdays. Here’s to another great season.”
