Rowlinson Knitwear is the sponsor of this year’s Best Community Partner 2019 SA Award.
This award recognises SA members that are selfless and work hard for the benefit of others. Judges will be looking for qualities that show a real commitment to the community and those that are a part of it; whether it be in their own local area or on a more national or international basis, with initiatives that show support to disadvantaged children and their families.
Commenting on the sponsorship is Neil Ward, director of Rowlinson Knitwear. “Rowlinson is delighted to sponsor Best Community Partner 2019 in this year’s SA Awards.
“As an employee-owned, values-led business, we place great emphasis on working hard for the benefit of others; a key attribute of this award. We are also proud to champion schoolwear businesses that invest in their communities and show commitment to the SA’s ‘Every Child Is Worth It’ values.”
