Showing Strength and Support for Community and UK Business
For the second season in a row, Hi-line Industries are sponsoring Tom Hamer, Burton Albion’s highly popular right back
Adhering to its environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) agenda, Hi-line Industries, a UK-based leader in the design, manufacture and installation of energy-effi cient compressed air purifi cation equipment, provides extensive support for the sporting community in the Burton upon Trent area, as a main sponsor at both Burton Albion Football Club and Burton Rugby Football Club.
The company, headquartered in the town’s Green Street, is a member of the British Compressed Air Society and also supports the ‘Made in Britain’ campaign, highlighting the passion around British brands and UK manufacturing. Its portfolio of energy-effi cient compressed air equipment includes air dryers, nitrogen/oxygen generators and fi ltration equipment.
Having showed 27% growth in like-for-like sales at its recent year-end (31 July 2022), underpinned by a record 12 months for the company’s N2 nitrogen generator systems and HPSA desiccant dryers, Hi line felt it had a responsibility to return some of its profi ts to the local community, and what brings people together more than sport?
Hi-Line’s Burton production facility
Hi-line Industries are main shirt sponsors for the Burton Rugby Club fi rst team, currently Staffordshire and Derbyshire’s highest ranked senior rugby club, playing in the Midlands Premier division
The company sponsors Burton Albion FC’s defender Tom Hamer, the club’s highly popular 22-year-old right back for the second season in a row and provides regular match sponsorships such as ‘man of the match’. The company also adds support through the use of its executive hospitality box at the club’s Pirelli Stadium. Formed in 1950 Burton Albion are currently playing in League One of the Football League.
Hi-line’s extensive sponsorship and support programme is similar for Burton Rugby Football Club, which has origins dating back to 1870 and is currently Staffordshire and Derbyshire’s highest ranked senior rugby club, playing in the Midlands Premier division. The company is the main shirt sponsor for the fi rst team, a Patron member and has an advertising board at the club’s Battlestead Croft ground.
“We take our corporate and social responsibilities very seriously at Hi-line,” stated Managing Director Steve Smith. “The company is very proud to be based here in Burton, which has been the perfect location to grow our fl ourishing business. It’s only right, therefore, to show
our gratitude and commitment to the town by supporting some of its community treasures. The town’s football and rugby clubs provide pleasure to thousands of local people on a weekly basis, but they need funds. Hopefully our support goes some way to ensuring that our local sporting heritage is maintained for many years to come.”
To keep pace with growing order levels, Hi-line is currently in the process of expanding its Burton production facility and has several six-fi gure projects to complete before year-end. They also participate in the BCAS apprenticeship scheme and are currently looking to take on more apprentices from the local area, with positions available immediately.
