Our Community
Our goal is to foster growth, well-being, and opportunity for all
At Blackrow Group, we believe in the importance of nurturing the community that has supported us throughout the years. Our commitment goes beyond business—we actively engage in a variety of initiatives that promote environmental sustainability, education, and local pride. From partnering with schools to sponsoring local sports teams, our goal is to foster growth, well-being, and opportunity for all.
We are proud to be involved in a number of impactful projects, and below are just a few examples of how we’re making a difference
Environmental Stewardship
James Elliot Canoe River Cleaner
We’ve been proud supporters of James Elliot’s mission from its inception, helping maintain the natural beauty of the River Freshney. By backing James Elliot’s efforts, we play a part in preserving the local environment for future generations.
Supporting Local Sports

As the official sleeve sponsor for Grimsby Town Football Club for the 2024-25 season, we are delighted to support our local team. Based in Grimsby ourselves, this partnership symbolises our shared pride in the local community.
Grimsby Borough Football Club
Now entering our second year of sponsorship, we are thrilled to support Grimsby Borough Football Club, including our Blackrow Wind division. Our continued backing for the 2024/25 Northern Premier League season reflects our passion for nurturing local talent and promoting the spirit of sport.
Blackrow Blitz Netball Team
Sponsoring the reigning champions of the Grimsby & District Senior Netball League Summer League 2024, the Blackrow Blitz, is a true honour. Their determination and teamwork resonate with our own values, and we are proud to contribute to their ongoing success.
Cleethorpes Cricket Club
We are equally excited to be the first-ever sponsor of Cleethorpes Cricket Club as they compete in the Yorkshire Cricket Southern Premier League. Our support helps them reach new milestones, and we look forward to watching them grow.
Community and Cultural Contributions
Memorial and Environmental Projects
We actively participate in local environmental initiatives, from recycling projects with the council to memorial artwork honouring our former Beach Safety Officer, Buster Hammond. These efforts reflect our commitment to making our community cleaner and more in tune with its rich heritage.
Education and Future Generations
Schools and Colleges
We are dedicated to inspiring the next generation of talent. Through partnerships with local schools and colleges, we provide talks, workshops, and hands-on opportunities to encourage students to explore careers in engineering and related fields.
Heritage and Well-Being
