Allsafe Scaffolding Announced as Main Sponsor of Banbury RUFC for 2025/26 Season
Banbury Rugby Union Football Club is proud to announce Allsafe Scaffolding as the club’s Main Sponsor for the next three seasons, marking an exciting new chapter in a partnership that has grown from strength to strength over the past six years.

This agreement extends far beyond financial support, reflecting a shared commitment to community, family values, and grassroots sport. For Allsafe owner Mark Boland, the connection with Banbury RUFC is deeply personal. A lifelong member of the club, Mark first pulled on the blue and white jersey in 1975, joining the club as a junior, going on to play for the 1st XV for well over a decade, representing the Vets and later served as both President and Chairman.

“Banbury Rugby Club has always been more than just a team; it’s a community, a family, and a place where lifelong friendships are made,” said Mark Boland. “The club has given me so much over the years, so being able to give back in this way means a great deal to me personally, and to everyone at Allsafe.”

Allsafe Scaffolding, a family-run business with deep local roots, has been a long-standing supporter of Banbury RUFC. The company’s sponsorship will include investment in playing kit, backing of community days and charity initiatives, and wider support across matchdays and club events.

Incoming Club President, Richard Tooth, welcomed the announcement:
“We are delighted to have Allsafe Scaffolding as our main sponsor. Mark’s personal connection and lifelong commitment to Banbury RUFC make this partnership particularly special. This support will help ensure the club continues to thrive both on and off the pitch, benefiting players and supporters across all levels.”

Director of Rugby, Matt Goode, added:
“Having Allsafe as our main sponsor is a huge boost for the club. Their support gives us the platform to deliver on our 5-year plan, developing talent from our Minis and Juniors right through to our senior squads, while also growing our role in the wider community. Mark’s passion for Banbury RUFC shines through in this partnership, and we’re excited to keep building for the future together.”

This partnership underlines Banbury RUFC’s mission to remain at the heart of the town’s sporting and social life, creating opportunities for players of all ages and abilities. For Allsafe Scaffolding, it is a way of ensuring future generations continue to experience the camaraderie, values, and pride that rugby brings.

Together, Banbury RUFC and Allsafe Scaffolding are committed to building a lasting legacy for the club and the wider community.
