Club box holders, Wild Water Storage, have invested further in the Club by sponsoring The Wild Water Lounge, one of Glamorgan’s premium hospitality and event lounges. As Wales’ leading temperature-controlled storage and distribution company we are proud to display the Wild Water brand.
SA Group, the Wiltshire-based cyber security experts have continually developed our partnership over the last few years with their logo adorned on the front of our Specsavers County Championship shirt and also featuring on the back of our white ball top. This season SA Group and their guests will enjoy watching Glamorgan from the luxury of their own box and we look forward to welcoming them to the home of Welsh cricket and working with their experts to ensure our systems are secure and robust.
Our Telecoms and IT partner, Pro-Copy, have rebranded as Altodigital. They will continue to be a box holder and sponsor the family stand, which will be known as the ‘Altodigital Family Stand’. We have been partners for over ten years and we are delighted that this long association will continue for years to come.
The ‘Cathedral Road Stand and accompanying hospitality lounge is rebranded as the ‘Castell Howell Stand’ and ‘Castell Howell Lounge’ respectively. Castell Howell, Wales’ leading food and catering provider need no introduction. We pride ourselves on the high standards of our hospitality at Glamorgan Cricket and Castell Howell are a vital part of ensuring our guests receive our notable fine dining experience in Welsh sport.

The shirt will continue to feature MiPost on the chest, SA Group on the back, Discoverleeks on the arm and Aston Martin on the collar. Aston Martin’s joint partnership with Cricket Wales also continues as the famous wings adorn the front of all the Wales age grade teams in 2018.
It’s also business as usual on the Specsavers County Championship shirt as SA Group extend their front of shirt partnership and Newport based, SPTS Technologies take pride of place on the back of the shirt. Discoverleeks and Aston Martin complete the set and will be proudly worn by the team in the coming season.

Brecon Carreg will keep the squad hydrated and Cardiff Audi will be keeping them mobile.
