Galgorm Collection has announced a new three-year sponsorship partnership with Cullybackey Blues FC, reinforcing its ongoing commitment to supporting grassroots sport and the communities in which it operates.

As one of Northern Ireland’s hospitality groups, with a portfolio spanning hotels, restaurants and golf experiences, Galgorm Collection continues to invest in organisations that drive participation, wellbeing and positive social impact at a local level.

Putting in a number of top performances so far this season, Cullybackey Blues FC has been promoted to the second division upon conclusion of the hugely competitive Kinecx Energy Saturday Morning League. Following a strong pre-season campaign and the signing of new players, Danny Bell, Joe Dunlop, Jordan Stewart and Kaan Avci, the team is taking to the pitch once again to compete in the Zala Cup.

Colin Johnston, CEO of Galgorm Collection, said: “Cullybackey Blues FC is an integral part of the local community, and we’re proud to be entering into this partnership at such an exciting time for the Club.

“Sport plays a vital role in strengthening communities, bringing people together, fostering teamwork and creating opportunities for individuals to thrive. With many of our team members and their families based locally, this partnership is particularly meaningful for us.

“As a business employing over 1,400 people across Northern Ireland, we see first-hand the shared values between sport and hospitality, from dedication and resilience to collaboration and a collective drive for success. We’re delighted to support the Club over the next three years and look forward to following their continued progress.”

This partnership forms part of Galgorm Collection’s wider community engagement programme, which includes support for the North West 200, Antrim Camogie Minor squad, and a range of local sport clubs, schools, charities and societies.

Joel Barr from Cullybackey Blues FC added: “Support from businesses like Galgorm Collection is invaluable to clubs like ours. This partnership will enable us to invest further in player development, training and facilities, while strengthening our role within the community.

“We’re incredibly grateful for their backing and excited about what we can achieve together over the next three years.”

As Galgorm Collection continues to grow, its focus remains firmly on delivering meaningful economic and social impact across Northern Ireland.
