Why We Love Supporting Our Local Sporting Clubs

At DDL Recruitment, we’re proud to support local sporting clubs — not just because we believe in teamwork and community, but because we see firsthand the positive impact sport has on our people.

For many of our employees, local sport is more than just a pastime, it’s a way to unwind, stay active, and build meaningful friendships outside of work. By sponsoring clubs in our community, we’re helping create spaces where our people can thrive, both on and off the field.

But our passion goes beyond our own workforce. Community sport brings people together. It teaches resilience, builds character, and gives young players the role models they need. As a labour hire company, we understand the value of discipline, commitment, and teamwork — all of which are shaped on the field and in the locker room.

Sponsoring these clubs is our way of giving back. It’s about promoting healthier lifestyles, strengthening local connections, and investing in the community spirit that keeps our neighbourhoods strong.

We’re especially proud to support clubs our own team grew up with and still represent today:

  • Blackburn South Cricket Club (The Cobra’s – Reigning Premiers) – Jarryd de Haas
  • Surrey Park Football & Netball Club (The Panthers – Reigning Premiers) – Conor Ryan-Simmons

  • Bayswater Strikers (The Sharks) – Stacey de Haas

Not only have these clubs been part of our team’s journey, but they’ve also been an incredible source of hard-working, reliable people who’ve joined our DDL workforce over the years.

Congratulations to our team members and the clubs they represent for their continued success both on and off the field.

Long may they reign.
