Nexa Bristol, launched by former players Rob Higgitt, Olly Kohn, Danny Gray and ex-captain Joe El-Abd, is based in Wapping Wharf on the city’s waterfront.  The company have agreed a deal to sponsor the club’s ‘Move of the Month’ feature – a social media activation that allows supporters to vote for their favourite Bears highlights.

In addition, Nexa will also deliver a series of seminars and property workshops to Bristol Bears players, as well work experience opportunities for players planning for life after rugby.

Bears Chief Executive, Mark Tainton, said: “It’s great to welcome Nexa Bristol onboard and we look forward to working with them. Digital activation is something that we take great pride in as an organisation, so we’re delighted to see how this partnership blossoms, both online and through player and staff engagement.

“To team up with a company that has former players at its core is another positive for us. For them to have contributed to the jersey on the field and to now be able to stay connected with the club in life after rugby emphasises our unique culture.”

Company Director and former Bristol player, Rob Higgitt, said: “We are delighted to become the Official Estate Agent Partner of Bristol Bears. Community support, sport and especially rugby all run deep within our culture at NEXA Bristol.

“With our close links to the club we jumped at the opportunity of being part of the Bears journey over the coming years.  We are proud to form this partnership, which also gives us a platform to support the local Bristol community and an opportunity to re-connect with a lot of the supporters we know from our time at the club.”
