Lisburn based McQuillan Companies has announced a three-year partnership with Queens University.

As part of the partnership, McQuillan Companies will feature as a sponsor on all the jerseys across the eight teams and on advertising hoardings on the Main Arena Pitch and the Queen's Soccer pitch at Upper Malone.

The partnership aims to create a platform for student-athletes to excel both on and off the field, reinforcing the values of teamwork, discipline and sportsmanship. The Rugby, Hockey and Soccer clubs at Queens University have a history of success, this support from McQuillan Companies will enable the clubs to access resources required to reach even greater heights in their respective sports.

John McQuillan, Director at McQuillan Companies, said: "We are excited to embark on this journey with Queen’s Sport to support their talented student-athletes in their pursuit of excellence both on and off the pitch. The importance of sport within education is widely acknowledged, and as a large family business we see this partnership as an affirmation of our commitment to learning excellence, and as a company helping nurture and support the next generation of professionals. We have members of staff who have represented the university as well as many more who have watched from the sidelines across many sports as family and friends, so we fully understand the need for activities to balance out learning and life. Sponsoring these activities further reflects our shared commitment to fostering growth, leadership, and community engagement, and we are excited to see how this Priority Sports Associate partnership impact on the athletes, the university, and our communities."
