Wodr Heads to New Road To Watch Worcestershire Rapids
At Wodr, we’re passionate about supporting local communities, businesses and organisations that bring people together. That’s why we’re proud to continue our partnership with Worcestershire County Cricket Club. This partnership strengthens a relationship that already sees Wodr and our sister company, Utility Stream, supporting the club with their business water and energy utilities.
A Rich History Behind Worcestershire County Cricket Club
Founded in 1865, Worcestershire County Cricket Club has been at the heart of English cricket for more than 150 years. Based at the iconic New Road Ground in Worcester, the club has built a reputation for producing outstanding players… as well as creating memorable moments for supporters across generations.
Situated alongside the River Severn, New Road is one of the most picturesque grounds in the country and remains a focal point for sport and community life in Worcestershire. And now even more so as it features the wonderful Wodr-Sponsored Hospitality Bar!
Supporting Worcestershire Cricket Through Water, Energy and Sponsorship
For some time now, Wodr (and it’s sister company Utility Stream) have proudly supported Worcestershire County Cricket Club by helping manage their business water and energy utilities. This partnership allows the club to focus on delivering fantastic experiences for players, members and supporters, while we help ensure their essential services run efficiently behind the scenes.
And for the second year running, we’re delighted to take our support a step further by sponsoring one of the club’s hospitality bars, helping to enhance the matchday experience for members, guests and supporters alike. As the hospitality bar reopened for the summer season, there seemed no better way to celebrate than by getting the whole Wodr team together for a day at the cricket.
The Wodr Team Heads to Watch Worcestershire Rapids
With excitement building, the team jumped aboard a minibus and made the journey to Worcester to enjoy an evening of T20 cricket.
The match certainly didn’t disappoint. Worcestershire Rapids Men posted a competitive 168/8 before restricting Glamorgan Men to 141 all out, securing a convincing 27-run victory for the home side. The atmosphere around the ground was fantastic, and it was great to see supporters enjoying the hospitality facilities throughout the evening.
An Added Bonus!
Now, you might think that watching Worcestershire Rapids claim a brilliant victory would be the highlight of the day. But you’d be wrong. As the team made the short walk to the ground, we spotted a few very familiar faces staring back at us from the billboards outside New Road.
There, proudly displayed for everyone arriving at the grounds, were members of our very own Wodr team! The snaps were taken from our visit the previous year (and there was a particular spotlight on Joe!).
Safe to say there were a few surprised reactions, laughter and more than a couple of photo opportunities before we even made it through the gates.
It’s not every day you arrive at a cricket ground and find yourself featured on the billboards
Looking Ahead to More Worcestershire Rapids Action This Summer
Our visit to New Road was a fantastic reminder of why partnerships like this matter. Supporting local clubs strengthens communities, creates memorable experiences and brings people together. We’re proud to work alongside Worcestershire County Cricket Club through our utility services and hospitality bar sponsorship. We look forward to many more successful seasons ahead, both on and off the pitch.
Congratulations to Worcestershire Rapids on a fantastic win, and here’s to a great summer of cricket at New Road.

Stratford Town Football Club End-of-Season Awards
The Wodr team was delighted to attend Stratford Town F.C.’s end-of-season awards evening on Saturday.
Joining players, staff, supporters, and volunteers for a memorable night celebrating another fantastic year for the club.
Football clubs are about far more than what happens on the pitch. They bring communities together, create lasting friendships, and provide opportunities for people of all ages to be part of something special. The awards evening was a perfect reflection of that spirit, recognising the hard work, dedication, and commitment that goes into making Stratford Town F.C. such an important part of the local community.
With the sun shining throughout the evening, guests enjoyed drinks on the terrace before the awards ceremony got underway. It provided a wonderful opportunity for everyone to come together, reflect on the season, and celebrate the achievements of those who have contributed both on and off the field.
As proud supporters of the club, it was particularly pleasing to see Wodr represented during the presentations.
Company Director Mark Edwards had the honour of presenting an award to Fin Brennan, recognising his contribution during the season.
The evening was a fantastic showcase of everything that makes grassroots and non-league football so special. From the players and coaching staff to the volunteers, organisers, and loyal supporters, every individual plays a vital role in the continued success of the club.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Steve and the entire Stratford Town F.C. team for organising such an enjoyable and well-run event. Their dedication behind the scenes is a huge part of what makes the club such a success.
Exciting News: The New Kit Is Coming Soon
As a proud sponsor of Stratford Town F.C., we’re also excited to announce that the club’s new kit will be unveiled in the coming weeks.
The new design will proudly feature Wodr as the shirt sponsor, and we can’t wait to see supporters wearing the colours with pride next season.
If you’d like to be among the first to get your hands on the new kit before the World Cup kicks off, keep an eye on our channels and follow this link to hear more about the shirt design and learn how to secure yours.
We look forward to continuing our partnership with Stratford Town F.C. and supporting the club both on and off the pitch for many seasons to come.

Wodr Renews Principal Shirt Sponsorship with Stratford Town FC for 2025/26
We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Stratford Town Football Club as principal shirt sponsor for the 2025/26 season.
This marks our second season as principal front-of-shirt sponsor, and this year we’ve taken things a step further, extending our branding to both the home and away kits. The new away shirt, in particular, holds special meaning for us. Featuring Wodr’s distinctive blue and green colourway, it represents more than a visual identity — it’s a reflection of the values we share with the club and its supporters: community, resilience, and ambition.
The design process shows an authentic collaboration between Wodr and Stratford Town FC.
We’re thrilled with the results, and clearly, so are the fans. Pre-orders for both kits have already surpassed last year’s figures, with overwhelmingly positive feedback from across the community.
Stratford Town’s Commercial Manager, Steven Burge, shared his excitement:
“It was fantastic working with Mark and Nav to create shirts that align with Wodr’s branding while giving our fans something to be proud of. The reaction has been phenomenal, and we’re grateful for Wodr’s continued support both on and off the pitch.”
As a business rooted in innovation and community, supporting grassroots football is a natural fit for us. This partnership isn’t just about visibility — it’s about investment in the future, and backing organisations that bring people together.
Wodr Director Naveed Qayyum adds: “We’re proud to deepen our partnership with Stratford Town FC as part of our ongoing commitment to championing local communities and grassroots sport. This collaboration reflects our core values and reinforces Wodr’s ambition to make a meaningful impact beyond the utility space.”
We look forward to another exciting season together - and to seeing plenty of Wodr shirts in the stands at the Arden Garages Stadium.
