New Reach retained by Hampshire Cricket
After a successful first year of engagement, The Ageas Bowl has retained the services of New Reach PR for another 12 months.
New Reach entered an initial year-long agreement at the end of 2022 with The Ageas Bowl to support with driving powerful media coverage, the development of the venue and club’s communications strategy, working closely with the existing team.
Sport and social impact communications agency New Reach will now focus in 2024 on driving continued media coverage across national and regional media outlets, delivering important key messaging for the venue, Hampshire Cricket, Southern Vipers and the club’s community departments.
In the first year of engagement New Reach generated nearly 1,000 pieces of important media coverage across cricket, commercial, community and venue related activities.
Greig Stewart, Head of Customer Experience at The Ageas Bowl, said:
“New Reach are fantastic storytellers and have brought a new energy and focus to our comms plan and content creation. A great group of people to work with, they have created positive relationships across the Club and their positive attitude to relationship building is evident in the highly engaged network of writers and broadcasters they have given us access to.
“Over the 12-months we have been working with Nick and the team our local and national reach has significantly increased across broadcast and written press.”
Nick Rewcastle, Managing Director and Founder at New Reach added:
“Being originally from Hampshire myself, the chance to work with The Ageas Bowl was hugely exciting and over the last year that excitement grew as we uncovered the incredible work being done at all levels within the business.
“At New Reach, we work with businesses that care and provide powerful impact in their operations, so working with the right partners like The Ageas Bowl is perfect for us. We look forward to another busy year working in cricket.”

Inactivity is quietly draining our economy, health system and communities. Sport England’s latest research is a wake-up call: equal access to sport and exercise could unlock £20 billion in savings and productivity gains for the UK. That’s not just a health issue, it’s an economic imperative. The data is compelling: For every £1 invested in grassroots sport, £4.38 is returned in savings and benefits. Grassroots sport contributes £36 billion annually to the economy and generates £14 billion in tax revenue. Yet inequalities persist. Those with disabilities, lower incomes, and black communities remain the least active. At New Reach, we believe the solution is clear: movement. Sport isn’t just about participation; it’s about inclusion, opportunity, and impact. Every mile run, every game played, every community initiative matters, not just for health, but for economic resilience and social cohesion. As the government prepares its Budget, the questions are: How do we make sport accessible for everyone? How do we turn participation into a national priority? Because the cost of doing nothing is too high. At New Reach, we help brands, rights holders, and organisations turn this challenge into opportunity. Through strategic PR, creative campaigns, and partnerships, we amplify the benefits of sport - driving participation, tackling inequalities, and delivering measurable impact for communities and the economy.
