Gocompare.com to sponsor Pontypridd RFC

Pontypridd Rugby Football Club is delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with comparison site Gocompare.com.

Gocompare.com will be a major partner of the club for the 2010-11 seasons with its brand being present on the club shirt and advertising boards at the Sardis Road grounds.

Gareth Howells, Sponsorship & Marketing Manager for Pontypridd RFC welcomed Gocompare.com to the Pontypridd RFC family:

"We welcome the directors and staff to the club for what is turning out to be an exciting season of rugby. Pontypridd Rugby Club has one of the best rugby brands in Wales and we hope we can help expose the Gocompare.com brand further across the UK, and that they enjoy success with us during the partnership."

Commenting on the partnership, Kevin Hughes, chief finance and marketing officer said:

"Gocompare.com is proud to be supporting Pontypridd Rugby Football Club. Pontypridd is a proud and historic club that plays a key role in the community. There are a large number of rugby fans at Gocompare.com so we’ll be looking forward to giving the team our full support this season."

About Gocompare.com

Gocompare.com launched in November 2006. It was founded by Hayley Parsons, who has worked her entire career in the insurance broking and aggregator markets, and was the first comparison sites to focus on displaying product features rather than just listing prices. It was this philosophy that led to Gocompare.com becoming the first price comparison site to be invited to join the British Insurance Brokers Association (Biba) in May 2008 and helped force older comparison sites to change their ‘quick quote' ways and stop using assumptions to calculate estimated figures.

Today, Gocompare.com provides one of the most comprehensive online car insurance comparison services in the UK as well as comparing home, motorbike, van, pet insurance and breakdown cover. 

Gocompare.com is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.

In May 2008, Gocompare.com became the first price comparison site to be invited to join the British Insurance Brokers Association (BIBA). Gocompare.com remains the only comparison site with BIBA accreditation. Find out more about our BIBA accreditation†.
