Engage People Joins Old Wesley RFC as Silver Sponsor for 2026/27 Season
Old Wesley RFC is delighted to announce Engage People as a Silver Sponsor for the 2026/27 season, strengthening a partnership built on shared values of community, participation and helping people reach their potential.
Founded in 2016, Engage People is a specialist recruitment consultancy supporting clients across Accounting & Finance, Banking & Financial Services, Insurance, Technology, Property and Executive Search. The company has built its reputation on strong relationships, sector expertise and helping organisations and professionals find the right fit for long-term success. The sponsorship reflects a strong alignment between the two organisations. Old Wesley continues to provide rugby and participation opportunities across adult, mini, youth, touch and visually impaired rugby, supported by a dedicated community of players, families, volunteers, supporters and sponsors.
Commenting on the sponsorship, Paul McClatchie, Founder and Director of Engage People, said: “At Engage People, we believe strong communities create opportunities for people to thrive, both professionally and personally. Old Wesley RFC is much more than a rugby club; it is a place where friendships are formed, confidence is built and people of all ages are encouraged to be part of something bigger than themselves. Having first joined Old Wesley through the Under-20s programme, I have experienced first-hand the positive impact the club can have on individuals and families. Today, members of my own family are involved in the club and enjoying everything it has to offer. As a business built around helping people realise their potential, we are proud to support a club that develops resilience, teamwork and leadership, and creates lasting value in the wider community. We are excited to be part of Old Wesley’s journey for the season ahead.”
Welcoming Engage People to the club, Wayne Sheridan, President of Old Wesley RFC, said: “We are delighted to welcome Engage People as a Silver Sponsor of Old Wesley RFC. This partnership is particularly meaningful because of the strong alignment between our organisations. Both Old Wesley and Engage People are focused on helping people reach their potential, creating opportunities and building environments where individuals can grow, connect and succeed. Community is at the heart of everything we do at Old Wesley. Rugby brings people together, but the real impact is seen in the friendships formed, the confidence developed by young players, and the sense of belonging created for members and families. Support from organisations like Engage People helps us continue to invest in those opportunities and strengthen the positive role the club plays in the wider community. Paul’s own connection with the club, together with Engage People’s commitment to people and community, makes this a natural fit. On behalf of everyone at Old Wesley RFC, I would like to thank Paul and the team at Engage People for their support and warmly welcome them to the club. We look forward to building a successful partnership together.”
The sponsorship reflects more than a commercial partnership. It is a shared commitment to fostering opportunity, encouraging participation and creating lasting positive impact for individuals, families and the wider community. Old Wesley RFC thanks Engage People for its support and looks forward to working together throughout the 2026/27 season.
