Superyacht company sponsors England rugby player for 2021 / 2022 Newcastle Falcons season

Newcastle based superyacht sales, charter, and management company West Nautical has sponsored England rugby player Mike Brown, for the 2021 / 2022 season with the Newcastle Falcons team.

In the summer of 2021, Brown joined the Newcastle Falcons after a 15-year career at Harlequins, where he has the title of “all-time record appearance holder”. Playing 351 times and scoring over 100 tries, Brown was instrumental in helping Quins to achieve two Premiership titles in 2012 and 2021.

West Nautical, who has previously sponsored Dean Richards the Newcastle Falcons director of rugby, have a long-standing history with rugby with managing director Geoff Moore, having played for Westoe in South Shields when he moved to the North East at age 18.

Since 2015, West Nautical has sponsored Westoe RFC across several teams, focusing on the Development XV as well as the colts, which is a youth team for 16 to 18-year-olds.

Geoff Moore, managing director of West Nautical, said: “Playing for a North East team helped me settle in the area and made me feel at home when I moved here at 18 and started my career at sea, so it is something that will remain close to my heart and as our business continues to grow and thrive in the region we will continue to support rugby and sponsor players and teams in the area, both at grassroots and premiership levels.”

“We are looking forward to watching Mike and the Newcastle Falcons for the remainder of the season and wish the team well for all their upcoming matches.”
