The family-owned business will feature on the back of the Yarrows Taranaki Bulls playing shorts. The Devon Hotel will also be branded on the upper back of the #8 Amber & Black jersey, a jersey that was worn 41 times by Peter and Rosemary Tennent’s son in law Chris Masoe.

The partnership continues a long-standing relationship with Taranaki Rugby for both Peter and Rosemary Tennent. Rosemary’s parents, the late Noel and Melva Yarrow began their outstanding support of Taranaki Rugby back in 1992 through Principal Partner Yarrows the Bakers.
