The partnership will see Smile Group Travel support the England Roses with their travel plans as they build up to the Netball World Cup in 2019 in Liverpool.

Smile Group Travel is a specialist group travel company that offers group trips to long haul, short haul and UK destinations.

The firm's partners claim to have over 50 years of experience across the travel industry with particular background in group travel, offering "huge levels of expertise" to England Netball.

"It is fantastic to have the Smile Group join us as an official partner at an exciting time for the sport," said Matt Cook, England Netball's commercial director.

"The Quad Series sees the England Roses squad travel the globe to play the world’s best players and it pleasing to know that they will be in safe hands with our new partners."

The Netball Quad Series is a tournament which features the England Roses, the Australian Diamonds, the New Zealand Silver Ferns and the South Africa Proteas.

With tours to over 70 countries across all continents, Smile Group Travel will also be delivering a number of exclusive schools and club tours in partnership with England Netball.

Smile Group Travel will also become the title sponsor of the English National Schools Finals Day from 2018 to 2020.

"Smile are ecstatic at the opportunity to work with England Netball and to help with the continued promotion and growth in popularity of the sport," Graeme Walker, Smile Group Travel director, said.

"As well as organising the travel for England representative teams, we are very excited to work with England Netball to design events for school and club players to participate in. "
