Allica Bank has announced its sponsorship of the 2024 World Conker Championships, taking place in Southwick, Northamptonshire, on Sunday 13th October.

Allica Bank has chosen to support this popular community-run event for the first time in 2024. This expands on its mission to support the traditions and events that make local British communities unique, and the businesses that are part of them.

With roots dating back to 1965, the World Conker Championships attracts thousands of spectators and hundreds of competitors from all over the globe, all vying for the title of Conker Champion. The event not only upholds a much-loved British tradition, played by millions, but also plays a crucial role in supporting local economies by drawing visitors, media coverage, and business opportunities to the region of Northamptonshire.

St.John Burkett, Championship Organiser, said: “It’s fantastic to have a sponsor like Allica Bank on board. Events like this need the support of our sponsors to continue running and the World Conker Championships play a vital role in our local community. It’s great that someone like Allica Bank sees the importance that these events, as well as local business and people, play in the community.”

Allica Bank’s sponsorship of the event demonstrates its ongoing commitment to backing local economies and established businesses

With a focus on helping established UK businesses thrive, Allica Bank is keen to support the unique community-centred events that make our local communities special, and that offer economic benefits to areas that may be overlooked by the larger banks.

Wahid Nawaz, local relationship manager at Allica Bank, added: “The World Conker Championships have a remarkable cultural significance in Northamptonshire, bringing together competitors, families, and businesses in a way that supports the local economy. As a bank that believes in investing in communities and championing local businesses, we’re proud to play a role in helping this tradition continue. Events like this stimulate local tourism and commerce, ensuring that businesses in Southwick and surrounding areas get the boost they deserve.”
