 | |  | | Hello and welcome to the July edition of the Pilkington Bulletin. This month we announce an exciting sponsorship deal, travel to sunny Greece to take a look at a stunning Pilkington Planar™ installation, focus on our progress with Pilkington energiKare™, review the Pilkington Activ™ seminar at the BRE in Watford and find out more about the winners of the Pilkington sponsored categories at the Scottish Design Awards. Not forgetting our regulars which include revealing this season’s Fantasy Football champion and our success in the press. |
| Pilkington Activ™ On The Team Sheet at St Helens RLFC | With St Helens being the heartland of rugby league and glass, a collaboration between ourselves and St Helens RLFC is a match made in heaven. So we are proud to announce that Pilkington Activ™ is sponsoring St Helens RLFC’s shirts for the rest of the season. The deal will see the Saints wearing Pilkington Activ™ branded shirts at the Challenge Cup semi-final, and hopefully the final, as well as what should be a successful Super League playoff series.
