Huws Gray Group has agreed a new two-year extension to its partnership with Professional Game Referees (Pro Ref), the body responsible for match officials across English professional football. The extension keeps one of the UK's largest independent builders' merchants attached to a high-profile sponsorship platform for a further two seasons.
Huws Gray operates a large branch network across the UK supplying building materials, tools, and merchant services to trade customers. Details of exactly what the renewed partnership involves, branding, hospitality access, community initiatives, or wider marketing tie-ins, have not been published beyond confirmation of the extension itself.
Why this is on a tools and trades roundup
Sponsorship news does not change what is on the shelf at your local branch, but it is a signal worth tracking for two reasons. First, it points to Huws Gray's continued investment in national brand visibility, which typically accompanies wider business growth and branch expansion. Second, partnerships like this often carry customer-facing extras over their term, from branch events to promotions, that are worth watching for if you are a regular trade account holder.
We will update this piece if further detail on the partnership's scope is confirmed.
