Since their partnership began in early 2021, Shawbrook has supported a range of initiatives at both the club and community level. Following the launch of the new-look Mavericks in 2025, Shawbrook re-energised their title sponsorship by funding the “Pass it on initiative”, distributing 1000 netballs to schools and clubs across London and the East regions, supporting community netball organisations that struggle to access new equipment.  

Shawbrook also fund the “Fit for a Pro” initiative. This engaging content series provides valuable insights into the training and analytics behind elite performance, helping grass roots players understand what it takes to compete at the highest level, and brought to life through the eyes of the Mavericks athletes and coaching staff.   

Shawbrook is committed to supporting the Mavericks on their journey to further professionalise the sport, creating more opportunities for elite female athletes, and growing the game across the UK,  

Neil Rudge, Chief Banking Officer at Shawbrook Bank: 

“After supporting the club for the past four years we were delighted to renew our partnership of the new-look London Mavericks in 2025, deepening our investment to create even more opportunities for the next generation of athlete, both on and off the court. 

Collaborating with the Mavericks team is something all of us at Shawbrook are energised by and, together, we look forward to showcasing their work ethic and commitment, the passion of their fans, and the many opportunities that exist to help grow the sport over the next four years.”
