PROUD PARTNERS OF ESSEX COUNTY CRICKET CLUB
Now in our fourth season with Essex Cricket, we’re proud to have extended the partnership with Essex County Cricket Club, and to become ground naming rights partner, with the club’s home now named the ‘Ambassador Cruise Line Ground’.
As the venue approaches 100 years of first-class cricket in 2025, this multi-year naming partnership strengthens the ongoing support for the Club, its teams, and the local community.
Dan Feist, Chief Executive Officer, Essex Cricket, said: “The announcement of the Ambassador Cruise Line Ground is hugely exciting, especially in the 100th year of cricket at the venue.
“Alongside being the sole home for Essex Men, the first year of the Ambassador Cruise Line Ground will also be a groundbreaking for the first year of our professional Essex Women’s team.
“We are very grateful to Ambassador for their ongoing support, and we look forward to working even more closely with them while our historic home ground proudly bears their name.”
Gordon Nardini, Chief Marketing Officer, Ambassador Cruise Line, said: “As a relatively new cruise company, we believe in meaningful, proactive and long-term relationships with our partners, and this is nowhere more apparent than our community work with Essex Cricket.
“Since we embarked on this great adventure together, our relationship has blossomed, growing from simply being the Club’s Official Cruise Line Partner to becoming principal shirt sponsor for Essex’s Metro Bank One Day Cup campaign and sponsoring the Men’s, Women’s and Ability team’s one day kit, which comes in our brand colour of purple!
“The partnership offers Ambassador the perfect platform to showcase our brand to the club’s significant fan base, and I am incredibly proud that, from this season, all Essex’s home games will be staged at the newly-named Ambassador Cruise Line Ground.
“This is a natural evolution for us as we look forward to continuing to collaborate closely with the Club on their inspiring work, schemes and support of the local community of Essex and East London, which is also home to our head office, many of our staff and homeport to our flagship Ambience in Tilbury.”
