We are delighted to share some exciting news ahead of this weekend. Mando Solutions will be sponsoring the Breakthrough Academy Player of the Year Award at Bath Rugby’s prestigious End of Season Awards Dinner on Saturday 30th May, and members of the Mando team will be there on the night to present the award.
It is a proud moment for us, and one that feels fitting given the season Bath Rugby have just had.
A Season Worth Celebrating
If you follow rugby at all, you will know that Bath Rugby are the reigning Gallagher Premiership champions, having ended a 29-year wait for the title with a dramatic 23-21 victory over Leicester Tigers at Allianz Stadium Twickenham last June. They also completed a remarkable treble, adding the Premiership Rugby Cup and the European Challenge Cup to cap an extraordinary campaign under Director of Rugby Johann van Graan.
This season, Bath have continued to build on that success. It has been another strong year at The Rec, and Saturday night’s awards dinner is the club’s chance to recognise the players who have made it happen.
The End of Season Awards Dinner is one of the standout events in the Bath Rugby calendar. Players, partners and the wider Bath Rugby family come together to celebrate the highlights of the season, and the awards recognise individual excellence across the squad.
Why the Breakthrough Academy Player Award Matters to Us
At Mando Solutions, we specialise in placing competent operators and skilled labour into the quarrying, mining, construction, energy and waste sectors. Finding the right person, placing them well and watching them build a strong career is what we do every day.
The Breakthrough Academy Player of the Year Awards speaks directly to that. It recognises a player who has stepped up, seized their opportunity and made a genuine impact at the highest level. That is a story we understand and value deeply.
In our world, breakthrough moments matter just as much. The operator who takes on a new site and earns a recall by name. The candidate who lands their first role in the industry and does not look back. Progress, performance and potential are things we care about, whatever the setting.
Sponsoring this award is a natural fit for who we are and what we stand for.
About Bath Rugby
Founded in 1865, Bath Rugby is one of the oldest and most successful clubs in English rugby, playing out of The Recreation Ground in the heart of the city since 1894. The club dominated the English game through the 1980s and 90s before last season’s remarkable return to the top, winning the Premiership, the Premiership Rugby Cup and the European Challenge Cup under Director of Rugby Johann van Graan. Saturday night is their chance to celebrate the people who made it happen.
The Mando Team Will Be There on the Night
Members of the Mando Solutions team will be at the awards dinner on Saturday evening to present the Breakthrough Academy Player of the Year Awards in person. It will be a brilliant night and we are looking forward to being part of it.
We will be sharing photos from the evening and confirming the winner on our social channels and here on the blog, so watch this space. If you want to follow along on the night, you can find us on LinkedIn and Facebook.
Thank You to Bath Rugby
Our relationship with Bath Rugby is not a new one. Mando Solutions has supported the club over a number of years, including sponsoring Welsh international and British and Irish Lion Taulupe Faletau, and supporting both the junior and senior sections of the club. It is a relationship we have always been proud of, and sponsoring the Breakthrough Academy Player of the Year Awards feels like a natural next chapter in that.
We look forward to celebrating with the club and its players on Saturday night.
Here is to a great evening and to whoever takes home the Breakthrough Academy Player of the Year. They will have earned it.
Keep an eye on our blog and social channels for photos and the full update from Saturday. In the meantime, if you would like to find out more about Mando Solutions and what we do, give us a call on 01291 435440 or email info@mandosolutions.co.uk
