Sponsor pledges continued support for Bramley Buffaloes
Bramley Buffaloes coach Mark Butterill with Graham Nash of PPD.
Published Date: 05 August 2009
Graham, whose uncle is former Great Britain RL scrum half Steve Nash, is MD of PPD (Leeds) Ltd, a construction firm which operates across the Yorkshire region on domestic and commercial renovations and new builds.
The company stepped in at the start of 2009 to help out Rugby League Conference side Bramley Buffaloes by signing up as main club sponsor and it's a decision he's not regretting.
He told Bramley Today: "It was a brave decision at this time to back the club but it's paid off in terms of the profile of PPD and we've even seen enquiries from Bramley's strong and loyal support base!
"The club has a rich history and its partnership with the Co-operative had been in existence since it re-launched as a community owned organisation in 2003.
Their loss is my gain as far as I'm concerned and it's great to see the PPD logo on shirts worn by the players and supporters alike."
The Buffaloes are close to clinching another Minor Premiership title and look odds on to reach a fifth consecutive Premiership Grand Final in October.
"The success on the pitch has been a bonus," added Graham who plays at loose forward for Shaw Cross Sharks. "Although it makes it unlikely that Buffaloes coach Mark Butterill will be asking me to bring my boots to a game any time soon!"
He added: "Sponsoring a sports club can be a great way of growing your business profile very cost effectively and these sporting organisations are a vital part of our society that we cannot afford to lose at anytime let alone during a recession! They need our support!
"Running with the Buffaloes has coincided in an upturn in the business fortunes of PPD, as a local building firm of repute, and I would urge others to follow suit by getting involved in their local communities!"
PPD (Leeds) Ltd have just agreed a deal to be Bramley Buffalos RLFC Main sponsor for the 2009 year securing the clubs future.

“Their sponsorship secures our future and we’re all immensely grateful to Graham and his team for their support,” added Martyn who has secured a number of lucrative sponsorship deals in the past week after issuing a public plea for help.
“I’m delighted to be backing the Buffaloes who were on the look out for a new shirt sponsor,” explained Graham. “Bramley has a very proud rugby tradition and it’s great to know that we’ll be on board as they bid to reach a fifth consecutive Grand Final.
