IN FOCUS 2021
Continued Support for School Sport The teams at Bridging Finance Solutions and Quilter Cheviot have shown their continued support to the sports department at Birkenhead School. Bridging Finance Solutions have donated cricket covers to help protect two of the School's three cricket squares, preparing and maintaining the pitches to the highest standards. Quilter Cheviot have donated county standard cricket screens and a new electronic netball scoreboard and continue their long support of the School. The sponsorship from Bridging Finance Solutions and Quilter Cheviot has allowed the School to build on an already excellent sports provision by allowing further enhancements to the facilities and kit offered to students, supporting the School's vision for sport moving forward. Keith Fowles, Director of Sport, commented: "Sport is a fundamental aspect of School life at Birkenhead School and an area in which we look to continue to invest and grow with future plans including the development of a new Sports Hall. This year's sponsorship from Bridging Finance Solutions and Quilter Cheviot has been invested in cricket equipment, enhancing the playing time and game conditions for our students in both Prep and Seniors. In addition we have also
purchased a new electronic netball scoreboard that has been placed in the Sports Hall over the summer.” “As a leading independent school, we want to offer the best sports facilities in the area to our students to help them develop as athletes. We are extremely grateful to both companies for their continued support and shared vision for excellence." Steve Barber, Managing Director at Bridging Finance Solutions added: “We’re pleased to be able to support the school and the sports department – cricket is an important part of the school’s sporting tradition and we’re keen to help preserve this. We look forward to some exciting games across all school years in the months ahead!” Nigel Hibbert, Executive Director and Head of Liverpool Office, at Quilter Cheviot comments, “On behalf of the Quilter Cheviot Liverpool office, I am thrilled to be continuing our support of Birkenhead School again this year. We have had a relationship for a number of years, working together on career initiatives, supporting the school’s sports programme, and this year we launched financial education workshops for sixth form students to help them prepare for life after school. I, and my team, wish all students at Birkenhead a very successful academic year ahead.”
