Neil Edginton, founder and MD of EDG property had this to say about the exciting new tie-up.

”I am delighted to share with you that we are the new headline sponsor for 2023-24. I am also pleased to say that I have joined the Barons management committee to try to bring a new, fresh approach, a business and commercial approach similar to the one we bring to our real estate business every day. I am pleased to announce that we have other corporate sponsors now onboard, we have a hospitality partner and a really exciting travel partner as well. More will be announced in coming days so watch this space.

”You will also have seen that Leepy, the Legend, has returned to lead the on-ice team which is absolutely fantastic news for all of us. Leepy has some great announcements coming up with existing players, with new players and he has been putting everyone through their paces, so watch for announcements soon. 

“But the Barons need you, they need every single one of us to get behind them when the season starts. let’s fill Solihull Ice Rink, cheer the lads on and make it a season to remember. We really hope to see you at Solihull when the season starts!, Thanks very much!

Barons chair Dave Hayward is thrilled to have EDG join with the Barons for what promises to be a very big season for the Solihull club:

‘In an ever changing world, the challenges running a senior ice hockey team such as the Barons have become increasingly more difficult as costs have risen at an alarming rate. Sponsorship is more important than ever and as a club we are hugely grateful, delighted and excited to announce EDG Property as our Headline Sponsor for the NIHL 1 North 2023-24 season. I spoke to Neil Edginton of EDG at the start of year when he approached the club to see if there was any help and assistance that EDG could give the club. We agreed to meet up and along with Leepy and Neil’s brother Andy, where it became apparent that Neil and Andy had caught the hockey bug, were huge Barons fans and had a real passion for the game. Over a few weeks Neil and Andy took the time to understand the challenges the club faced and with their vast commercial experience and contacts have helped the club to put a detailed and exciting plan together for the coming season that will put the club in a much more sustainable position going forward. As a club we cannot thank them enough for what they have done to date and what they have committed to do for the Barons over the coming months. So Barons fans please join me and the committee in welcoming EDG to the Barons family and what should be an exciting season ahead!
