Following their historic promotion back into the National Premiership set up, Team Jets Netball Club have announced Evelyn Partners as their new principle sponsors for the next 3 years.

Claiming the naming rights of the club, the newly named ‘Evelyn Partners Jets’ will enter their new season with valuable funding behind them, described by Jets head coach Serena Kersten as “extremely exciting”.

“It’s been an interesting summer,” said former England Netball captain, Kersten. “It’s taken us a long time to broker sponsorship deals in the current climate, especially with flight costs gone through the roof and travel costs in general.

“With promotion to this level comes with all those good headaches, but with Evelyn Partners now on board, we’re definitely in a better place. With this financial boost, we can now book flights and set our logistics in order for what will be a great season for us.”

Evelyn Partners are a company firmly aligned in women’s sports, with investments made into football with Manchester City Women, rugby through Saracens Women and netball through the Netball Super League [NSL] 2.0.

Evelyn Partners signed a multi-year, three-year partnership with the NSL in May 2025, becoming the league’s official wealth management partner. 

“Up until a couple weeks ago there was quite a bit of pressure from my advisory board basically saying they need someone who’s coming in to build the club and expand opportunities,” Kersten continued.

“It’s not the kind of conversations you want to be having, but unfortunately the costs for running our programme are just absolutely insane, we’re looking at maybe £120k a year to run our programme’s now.

“So when Evelyn Partners came in, it’s not only a life line, but it’s absolutely the right partner for us as well. They’re so heavily involved in women’s sport, particularly their willingness to invest large sums of money into developing netball nationally with the NSL, so we’re just very grateful to be able to get someone like them on board.”

Aside from the benefits of travel and logistical costs, Kersten noted the benefits for the girls in the Jets programme being offered learning opportunities in wealth management through the company’s employee engagement.

“One of the key things I’m really looking forward to do with this partnership is the employee engagement and the level of interest that I think we’re going to get as a club.
Also the education arm that they have as a wealth management company, I think it’s going to be quite fun for the girls to get involved in.

“We have a lot of girls here who don’t go to University, who are staying here and want to make a life in Jersey, so to have a partner like Evelyn who can help support the girls in their journeys through life on island, learning about mortgages and things like this, I think it’s brilliant.”

Matt Falla, Managing Director of Evelyn Partners International stated: “Evelyn Partners international are delighted to announce this 3 Year partnership with Team Jets. This follows Evelyn Partners 3 year partnership with the Netball Super League, the UK’s elite netball competition.

“Evelyn Partners seeks to inspire our clients to embrace “What’s Next” and that is embodied by the Evelyn Partners Jets as they embark on the next stage of their journey, returning to compete in Premier League 3 for the 2025/26 season.

“We know that their success will inspire the Jets of the future to reach higher, when dreaming what their “What’s next” could be.”

Through their naming rights, Evelyn Partners name will be front and centre across all Jets training and playing kit, as well as the name being donned all across Les Ormes and, moving forwards, the new centre at Oakfield.

The home for Team Jets has been a contentious issue for some time now, but Kersten explained: “We are set to move from Les Ormes to Oakfield when it opens. I’ve been working hard with sports bookings to get our first tow home games there and it’s looking likely that that’s going to happen, which is really exciting.

“Without them being flexible enough with us, we may not have had a home venue, so that’s really positive.”

The Evelyn Partners Jets open their 2025/26 Premier League 3 campaign this Saturday 13 September with an away trip to face YMCA Magic, before heading home for games two and three on 21 and 28 September, hosting both Exeter and Ryland respectively.

A full preview ahead of the opening game of the season will follow in this week’s JEP.
