Company CEO Anthony King took
the time to tell us more about the
company and their association
with Police Rugby. He said, “We
were founded back in 1968, and
are a national security company
which provides a comprehensive
range of fire and security services
to homes and businesses of all
sizes throughout the UK.
Head Coach Rhys Morgan on the first selection camp,
“Personally, I was pleasantly surprised with the standards
on show, especially with police teams generally struggling in
recent years. We have already identified some hitherto unseen
stand out talent.
“For me now, it’s all about getting the right combinations with
such limited exposure to the players, we won’t exclude players
needlessly and those that are selected will have truly earned
their place in the squad. Equally, we will ensure that talented
players, who are just outside the cut receive the appropriate
developmental advice to contest for places in the future.”
One thing is certain, with the commitment and momentum
already evident, England Police RUFC are safe bets to take
their brand of representative rugby onto a very big stage
indeed.
“We have grown to be one of the largest privately owned
providers of security systems in the UK and work very
closely with the police to help detect and deter crime. Whilst
we’re forward-thinking in terms of the service we provide,
our family values are firmly and proudly about honesty and
integrity.
“The people and the technology are key to our success
- I believe our customer service is second to none and the
advancements in technology have definitely helped with our
success.
“We’ve been involved with Police Rugby for around 3 years
but with the police in general; in particular West Yorkshire
Police, we have a very long standing relationship. We were
the main sponsors of the GB Police league team two years
ago and are happy to support the new union side this year,
as well as continuing to back the league.
“I believe the link helps to cement the relationship between
the public and private sector of police. Over the coming
years I hope to support the winning side! Looking at the
fixtures for their first season, they face very tough opposition
in the police services of Australia, Scotland and Ireland - I
wish them all the best of luck!”
