Committed to protecting the future of their community, East Anglian Galvanizing Ltd (part of Wedge Group Galvanizing Ltd), is beginning a ten-year sponsorship of their local sports pavilion, in partnership with Sawtry Parish Council.

Following extensive redevelopment and refurbishment over the past two years, Greenfields Sports Pavilion is a hub for local people, providing a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for children (and adults) to meet, play, and enjoy.

Selwyn Parrish, Commercial Manager at East Anglian Galvanizing, said: “We’re thrilled to be sponsoring our local sports pavilion – it truly is the centre of the community, and just a short walk from our plant. It’s a space that many of our employees attend to spend time with their families, and it’s a real pleasure for us to play a part in helping it to thrive for years to come.”

Wedge Group Galvanizing Ltd is the UK’s largest hot dip galvanizing organisation in the UK, with 14 plants nationwide, focusing on the process of coating steel with molten zinc to prevent rust and corrosion.

Commemorating this ongoing partnership, the pavilion is to be renamed: ‘The Wedge Group Greenfield Sports Pavilion’. The ‘Greenfield’ reference is in memory of local builder and Parish Councillor, Roy Green, who originally erected the pavilion, and whose family is still an integral part of the community.

“It’s a privilege for us all at Wedge Group Galvanizing that the pavilion is to be recognised in this way,” Selwyn continued. “And not only do we hope that our support will help to advance the current sports services, facilities and offerings available, but that it will also further advocate for the importance that exercise (and team activities) play in nurturing our physical, social, and mental wellbeing.”

Steve Browning, Clerk to Sawtry Parish Council, added: “At Sawtry Parish Council we’re committed to investing into the facilities and future of Greenfield, which is further enhanced by our recent alliance with East Anglian Galvanizing.

“We hope that this is an immensely positive partnership, and one that will benefit the whole community for many years to come. We’re really excited to be working with the team (and the wider Wedge Group too), and are incredibly grateful for their ongoing support.”

East Anglian Galvanizing is part of Wedge Group Galvanizing Ltd, the largest hot-dip galvanizing organisation in the UK with a history dating back over 155 years. With 14 plants strategically placed across the country, the firm offers a truly national galvanizing service.
