On International Women’s Day: BCB Group champions women in sports with Spencer Hockey Club Sponsorship

London 8th March 2025 – BCB Group, a leading provider of financial services for the digital asset economy, is proud to announce the renewal of its sponsorship of Spencer Hockey Club for a fourth consecutive season. As the world marks International Women’s Day this weekend (March 8th), the partnership underscores BCB Group’s commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion in sports.

There is a growing trend of crypto companies partnering with sports teams to build trust, foster community engagement, and strengthen the industry’s reputation, but while many have focused on high-profile, male-dominated sports, BCB Group is setting itself apart by championing women’s sports – an area often overlooked in crypto sponsorships.

Oliver Tonkin, Co-founder and CEO of BCB Group, expressed his enthusiasm about the ongoing partnership, stating, “We are proud to continue supporting Spencer Hockey Club, a beacon of inclusivity in sports. This partnership not only reflects our commitment to fostering diversity in sports but also aligns with our broader mission to champion inclusivity and representation in technology and beyond,

“By investing in initiatives that empower underrepresented groups, we aim to create a more equitable landscape in all fields we touch. We believe that by supporting organisations like Spencer Hockey Club, we can help inspire the next generation of leaders, whether in athletics, tech, or any other industry, and demonstrate that everyone has a vital role to play in shaping a brighter, more inclusive future.”

BCB Group has chosen Spencer Hockey Club for its unwavering emphasis on inclusivity, highlighted by a thriving women’s hockey programme that welcomes players of all ages, skill levels, and backgrounds. The club’s progressive approach to breaking stereotypes in sports traditionally dominated by men has created a space where women and girls can thrive and excel.

This ethos aligns seamlessly with BCB Group’s commitment to fostering diversity and empowering underrepresented groups, both in sports and within the tech and crypto industries. Together, the partnership champions the belief that inclusion drives innovation and success, whether on the hockey field or in the evolving world of cryptocurrency.

BCB Group is an active sponsor, regularly attending matches and building personal relationships with the team. Our sponsorship of Spencer Hockey Club provides significant financial support aimed at enhancing training programmes, upgrading facilities, and promoting the overall growth of the women’s teams.

Joe Chomet, coach of Spencer Women’s 1st team, highlighted the positive impact of the partnership, commenting, “BCB Group’s ongoing support has been invaluable in allowing us to expand our programmes and inspire more women and girls to take part in hockey. With their backing, we have been able to enhance our training facilities, provide better resources for our athletes, and create more opportunities for participation at all levels,

“Together, we’re proving that partnerships drive success both on and off the field. This collaboration not only empowers our players but also fosters a sense of community and belonging, showing young women that they can pursue their passions in sports. We’re excited about the future and the potential for continued growth and success through this partnership, which is transforming the landscape of women’s hockey.”

BCB Group is committed to inspiring women to pursue opportunities in blockchain and fintech through various initiatives aimed at promoting gender diversity in these industries. The partnership with Spencer Hockey Club further amplifies these efforts by demonstrating BCB’s dedication to empowering women in all fields, including sports.

Through community engagement and networking events, BCB Group aims to help cultivate the next generation of female leaders in the blockchain and fintech sectors.
