Tommy Kelly, sales director at TEG, echoes John’s sentiments: “We are a local business, and Mullingar has always supported us. It’s an honour to give back by supporting a local team who serve as a breeding ground for talent at the grassroots level.”

Mutual benefits

TEG’s support not only helps the rugby club, it also aligns well with the company’s own ethos of community involvement and character-building. This partnership serves as an exemplar, illustrating the kind of community development that can be achieved when local businesses invest in local organisations.

Conclusion

The story of TEG and Mullingar Rugby Club is a testament to the power of community spirit and collaboration. It serves as a model for other businesses and organisations, proving that when local entities support each other, everyone benefits.
