Club Statement: P&O Ferries

We entered a partnership with P&O Ferries in good faith, aware of their desire to contribute to the city of Hull.

The partnership was designed to support many local grass roots activities, as part of extensive community programmes, and complementary to a much bigger and exciting project the club is working on ahead of 2025.

Two years after the P&O Ferries business restructure, we had underestimated the continuing depth of feeling that remains in some parts of our community.

Since the announcement, we have engaged with supporters, stakeholders and East Hull MP Karl Turner.

As an East Hull institution looking to stay true to its Values, it’s important to us that our community know we will always try to do the right thing, and to represent them in the best way possible.

Therefore, Hull KR having decided at this time it is inappropriate to continue with this partnership
