In the community.
We are deeply committed to giving back to the communities where we operate. Through targeted sponsorships and impactful initiatives, we actively support local organisations and causes, fostering meaningful change and development. Our commitment to community engagement not only reflects our core values but also strengthens our connection with those we serve. Together, we aim to create a lasting positive impact, enriching the lives of individuals and families within our communities.
Below, you’ll find information on some of the causes we proudly support and the inspiring individuals and groups we sponsor.
Scarlett McMahon | Huddersfield Town Women's Football Team.
We are incredibly proud to announce our official sponsorship of Scarlett McMahon, a rising star in women’s football and a true inspiration. At just 19, Scarlett has already achieved impressive milestones, including a standout first season with Huddersfield Town Women’s Football Team, where she helped secure the Sheffield & Hallamshire FA Women’s County Cup.
Scarlett’s football journey began at the age of six, with spells at Blackpool and Bolton Wanderers, before earning a place at the Regional Talent Club for Blackburn Rovers U14-U16. Her talent on the pitch saw her represent Wales at both county and international levels, leading to a full football scholarship at Mount Kelly School in Devon.
Now balancing her studies at Leeds Beckett University with her commitment to Huddersfield Town, Scarlett’s dedication both on and off the pitch perfectly aligns with the values we uphold at The Seventy Ninth Group. We are proud to support her continued growth and development as she pursues her footballing ambitions and academic goals. At The Seventy Ninth Group, we believe in nurturing young talent and are honoured to back such a promising athlete. Scarlett’s future is bright, and we look forward to supporting her as she continues to excel in her career.
Lewis Forsyth | Teenage Golfing Sensation.
Despite having only visited the driving range a handful of times before, Lewis showed remarkable skill and determination. With encouragement from his dad and impressive early performances, he joined the Tommy Fleetwood Academy, where he quickly moved into the elite group, competing in regional, national, and international tournaments. Lewis earned his first handicap of 15 and soon began making a name for himself on the junior golfing circuit.
Over the past few years, Lewis has gone from strength to strength, competing in prestigious tournaments across the UK and beyond. One of the standout moments in his career so far was competing in the World Championships in Ireland, where he finished 38th out of 250 players – an incredible achievement.
As his golfing career continues to soar, we at The Seventy Ninth Group are thrilled to support Lewis on his journey. As a local Southport-based asset management company, we are proud to contribute towards his future tournaments, enabling him to travel and compete internationally.
Dave Webster, Chairman of The Seventy Ninth Group, expressed his excitement about supporting Lewis: “We are delighted to be backing such a talented young golfer. I played with Tommy Fleetwood as a teenager, and to see Lewis at an even younger age with such incredible skill is truly impressive. We can’t wait to see what he accomplishes next.”
With a bright future ahead, Lewis remains determined to keep improving, and we are proud to be part of his journey as he strives for success on the global stage.
The Abu Dhabi Harlequins | Rugby Union Club.
The Abu Dhabi Harlequins, affectionately known as the Quins, have a rich legacy as one of Abu Dhabi’s longest-running sporting clubs. Founded in 1970 as the Abu Dhabi Bats Rugby Club, the team initially played on the beach under streetlights – earning them their distinctive name. In 2008, the club proudly became the Abu Dhabi Harlequins, aligning with the prestigious London Harlequins, though their badge still pays homage to their origins with the iconic bat logo.
Over the years, the Quins have built a reputation as a warm and inclusive multicultural community, driven by a passion for rugby and a commitment to grassroots sports. Run entirely by volunteers, the club invests all its resources into fostering talent and making rugby accessible to all.
Natalie Bellis, CEO of The Seventy Ninth Group, expressed her pride in supporting the Team: “At The Seventy Ninth Group, we believe empowerment goes beyond the financial realm. This incredible team isn’t just about rugby; it’s about fostering strength, resilience, and opportunity. By championing these athletes, we’re helping to inspire the next generation of leaders.”
