Expect Distribution Sponsors Bradford Bulls End of Season Awards Ceremony

The Bradford Bulls’ End of Season Awards Ceremony has officially come and gone, and what an incredible night it was!

As a proud Bradford-based business, and sponsor of the Bradford Bulls, the Expect Distribution team were thrilled to be the sponsors of this awards which took place at Cedar Court Hotel on 20 September 2024.

Fans, players, and the Bulls sponsors came together to celebrate the triumphs of a fantastic season.

A Bradford based business

As a company founded and based in Bradford, supporting the Bulls feels like supporting family. Both of our sites, along with a significant number of our clients, are based right here in Bradford and across Yorkshire. Our roots in the community have helped us grow and thrive throughout the North and across UK.

We know that our local community has played a huge role in our success, which is why we believe in giving back. One of the ways we do this is through our partnership with the Bradford Bulls.

Sponsoring the Bulls

As Official Match Ball sponsor for the 2024 season, Ernie, our miniature Expect lorry, has delivered the match ball for every home league and cup fixture for the Bulls throughout the season. For more on the sponsorship, read here.
