OUR NEW STAGE IS THE AUTEX ACOUSTICS ARENA

Huddersfield Giants are delighted to announce Autex Acoustics as their official stadium naming rights partner for their new stage in Dewsbury, which will be known as The Autex Acoustics Arena.

The agreement marks an exciting new chapter for the Giants and represents a significant strengthening of an already successful partnership between the club and Autex Acoustics, who have supported the Giants for several years, including as an official shirt sponsor. 

Part of the internationally recognised, family-owned Autex Group, established in New Zealand in 1967, Autex Acoustics is a leading manufacturer of innovative and sustainable acoustic solutions. The UK business, headquartered in Elland, West Yorkshire, has enjoyed exceptional growth over the past decade, establishing itself as a major supplier of architectural acoustic products across the UK, Europe and the Middle East. Despite its international reach, Autex remains firmly committed to its Yorkshire base, continuing to invest in local people, manufacturing and facilities.

The partnership also brings together two organisations with a shared passion for Rugby League. The Autex Group owns the New Zealand Warriors, one of the leading clubs in the Australian National Rugby League competition, creating a unique connection between the sport in Yorkshire and New Zealand. 

A Personal Connection

For Autex Acoustics UK Managing Director Simon Senior, who was born and raised in Huddersfield, the agreement is particularly special.

Simon Senior said: "I am absolutely delighted that we have been able to make this happen. We have supported the Giants for a number of years now, and when the opportunity came along to be part of the new stadium, it just felt like the right thing to do.

"For me personally, it means a great deal. I am Huddersfield born and bred, and having grown up around Rugby League, I know just how much the sport and the Giants mean to the local community.

"We have built a fantastic business here in West Yorkshire over the past ten years, and although we are part of an international group, we are incredibly proud of our Yorkshire roots.

"Rugby League is also a big part of the wider Autex family through our ownership of the New Zealand Warriors, so it is great to strengthen that connection between the sport in both hemispheres.

"I genuinely believe this is an exciting new chapter for the Giants. I have been impressed with the progress already made at the stadium, and with the influence Jim Lenihan is having on the team, there is a real sense of optimism about the future.

"We do not just want our name on the building. We want to be part of the journey and help create something that the club, its supporters and the wider community can be proud of.

"And I have to say, I quite like the thought of supporters saying, 'See you at the Autex on Sunday!'

"It is an exciting time for everyone involved, and I cannot wait to see it all come to life."

 An Exciting Partnership for the Future

Huddersfield Giants owner Ken Davy OBE said: "It is fantastic, and I am absolutely delighted to welcome Autex as our stadium naming rights partner.

"They are an international company, a great brand and a fantastic business to have supporting the Giants. I have known Simon for quite some time, and it was wonderful to welcome him to the Autex Acoustics Arena and show him around.

"It is incredibly important that we have the right people alongside us as we embark on this exciting new chapter. When you look around the stadium and see the developments and improvements already taking place, you can really appreciate what we are building here. Having Autex involved makes it even more special.

"Being at the stadium has made me even more excited about the new season. I always look forward to the start of every season, as I am sure all our supporters do, but I genuinely believe the atmosphere at our new stage is going to be remarkable.

"There is a tremendous amount to look forward to, and I think our fans can expect plenty of fun, excitement and some fantastic occasions at the Autex Acoustics Arena."

The partnership will see Autex Acoustics work alongside the Giants and their creative partners to develop the stadium's branding and identity, creating a venue that reflects both organisations' ambitions and their shared commitment to Rugby League.

The Autex Acoustics Arena will proudly boast action from both Huddersfield Giants and Dewsbury Rams. With the new stadium already taking shape, the Autex Acoustics Arena promises to become an exciting new stage for the Giants and Rugby League supporters.
