Howden Insurance branches are running a competition ahead of The British & Irish Lions Australian Tour 2025. 

Participants are invited to design a Canterbury Lions jersey that encapsulates the spirit of the tour.

The competition is open to all members of the public.

David Willis, Divisional Director, Howden Salisbury, said: “Having the Howden name emblazoned on The British & Irish Lions jersey is a privilege and an honour. And we must earn our right to be on the iconic shirt, just as every player who’s worn it has.

“Rugby has many opportunities, and yet as a sport, faces so many challenges on and off the field - that’s why we’re so committed to helping rugby thrive in the communities we serve.”

The winner will receive a framed version of their shirt design along with up to thirty shirts for their local rugby team.

This competition is one of several events planned by Howden Insurance, including community rugby sponsorships, kit exchanges, 'Lions Pet Pawtraits' and family fun days.

Through these initiatives, the firm aims to support not just local rugby, but the wider local sport community.
