England cricket legend Ebony Rainford-Brent also unveiled three new cricket nets, donated to the club by DP World’s London Gateway Freeport Community Investment Fund (LGFCIF).

LONDON, June 24, 2026 /3BL/ – Global smart logistics leader DP World and the International Cricket Council (ICC) today brought the award-winning Beyond Boundaries Initiative to Stanford-le-Hope Cricket Club in Essex, delivering a repurposed shipping container, with the support of former English cricketer and commentator, Ebony Rainford-Brent MBE, to support young players in the community surrounding its London Gateway logistics hub.

Against the backdrop of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 in the UK and delivered in partnership with the ICC, the latest phase of the initiative saw DP World deliver its fifteenth repurposed shipping container and 250 cricket kits to aspiring players.

Rashid Abdulla, CEO & MD, Europe at DP World, said: “We are delighted to continue our award-winning Beyond Boundaries Initiative in Europe, and proud to bring it to Stanford-le-Hope, a community close to our London Gateway operation and an important part of DP World’s UK story. We know that the cost of both cricket equipment and infrastructure can be prohibitive, so we hope that this latest delivery can help support our neighbours Stanford-le-Hope Cricket Club, in what promises to be an exciting summer of cricket”.

Using its global logistics expertise, DP World delivers repurposed shipping containers that are transformed into cricket facilities, alongside new equipment, to communities where access to kit and infrastructure can be a barrier to participation. The Stanford-le-Hope installation provides dedicated storage for cricket equipment and a lasting facility for the club, with solar panels installed on the container to help power its day-to-day use. The cricket kits, each made up of a bat, ball, pads, helmet and bag, will be delivered to Colts junior players at the club and players from local schools Abbots Hall Primary Academy and Arthur Bugler Primary School.

Ebony Rainford-Brent commented: “I know firsthand the power that a cricket bat has to change lives; it certainly changed what was possible for me. It’s therefore heartening to see DP World providing both the resources and infrastructure needed to help the game thrive. As the Women’s T20 World Cup inspires a new generation, initiatives like this can help ensure more young people, including girls, have the opportunity to pick up a bat and play.”

Beyond the container, today’s event also saw the unveiling of three state-of-the-art, synthetic cricket nets, donated to the club through DP World’s London Gateway Freeport Community Investment Fund (LGFCIF). These nets will allow players of all ages to train on low maintenance, all-weather facilities.

Anurag Dahiya, Chief Commercial Officer of the ICC, said: “Growing the game of cricket across global borders is central to the ICC’s mission. Since signing as our Global Logistics Partner in 2023, DP World has helped bring that commitment to life through the Beyond Boundaries Initiative, continuing to expand opportunities and redefine what’s possible in creating both opportunity and access in grassroots cricket.”

Andrew Robinson, Youth Organiser at Stanford-le-Hope Cricket Club, added: “We are extremely grateful to DP World for providing invaluable support to us and our players. Our club is at the heart of our community and the nets, cricket kits and the container will go a long way to supporting our future. Hopefully one of our Colts will be the next Ebony Rainford-Brent, representing England on a global stage!”

Throughout the ongoing ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, DP World is continuing a kits-for-runs scheme, which first started during the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup in 2023. For every 100 runs scored at ICC pinnacle events, DP World will deliver 10 cricket kits to grassroots cricket, equally split between boys and girls.

The latest container will be adorned with an image of DP World’s Global Ambassador and global cricket star, Sachin Tendulkar, in addition to players from the local community, in an artwork designed by local artists K&B Designs.

Since its launch in 2023, the Beyond Boundaries Initiative has delivered 15 repurposed shipping containers and 3,550 cricket kits across eight countries and four continents. The delivery today is the second to take place in the UK, after the initiative was previously brought to the UK in conjunction with the MCC Foundation at Lord’s Cricket Ground last year.

GoDaddy (NYSE: GDDY) and RIVET, a global youth innovation organization, today announced the U.K. recipients selected for the 2026 Social Innovation Challenge, an initiative supporting young social entrepreneurs with funding, mentorship and AI-powered digital tools designed to help founders launch and test ideas more quickly.

The program supports early-stage entrepreneurs developing solutions focused on education, health and wellness, sustainability, inclusion and poverty reduction. Participants will also take part in a three-month venture-building sprint, working alongside mentors and community partners to build, refine and validate their ideas.

As advances in AI continue reshaping how businesses get started, the initiative aims to expand access to social entrepreneurship for young founders who may lack traditional funding, technical resources or professional networks. The selected cohort includes projects addressing challenges ranging from mental health and economic inclusion to sustainability and education access.

Purpose is often a powerful driver of entrepreneurship. GoDaddy research found that roughly one in three small business owners (32%) started their business in part to support a cause or hobby they’re passionate about.

“Some of the most impactful ideas come from people who are closest to the challenges their communities face,” said Jared Sine, chief strategy and legal officer at GoDaddy. “Today’s technology makes it easier than ever to turn an idea into something real, and we want more young entrepreneurs to have the opportunity to build, experiment and create lasting impact for themselves and their communities.”

Participants will receive:

• £596 in early-stage funding to test and develop their ideas
• Access to AI-powered GoDaddy tools that simplify building an online presence and launching projects
• Mentorship and a structured three-month development program
• Opportunities for storytelling amplification and public recognition

Top-performing participants will also be eligible for additional £1,488 Boost Grants and expanded support to help scale their projects.

GoDaddy partners with community organizations like RIVET through its signature social impact program, GoDaddy Empower, designed to help emerging entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses online.

“Young entrepreneurs are finding creative ways to solve problems in their communities, but too often they lack the support systems needed to get started,” said Christina Rose, chief marketing officer at RIVET. “This partnership is about giving promising founders practical resources, experienced mentorship and the confidence to turn early ideas into action.”

The program is being delivered in collaboration with Launch It, a U.K.-based charity helping young people aged 18–30 start and grow their businesses by providing affordable workspace and expert start-up support.

The Social Innovation Challenge runs through December 2026. Throughout the program, GoDaddy and RIVET will highlight standout founders and projects across digital and social channels, with select participants featured in additional storytelling initiatives later this year.

SOUTHAMPTON, England, June 24, 2026 /3BL/ – DP World has welcomed two of Europe’s largest quay cranes to Southampton in its latest investment to ensure this major container terminal can meet growing demand from UK trade.

The quay cranes, weighing more than 2,000 tonnes each and standing nearly 150 metres high – more than 50 metres taller than Big Ben – arrived fully constructed by sea and will be offloaded directly onto the Southampton container terminal quayside this week.

This is the first of two pairs of quay cranes set to arrive in Southampton in 2026, with a second pair due to arrive later this year, bringing the total number of cranes servicing the port to sixteen.

The new cranes will boost handling capacity and volumes at DP World Southampton and are able to service the largest container ships currently in operation, including 24,000 TEU megaships, as well as future larger vessels not yet built.

Capable of consecutive ‘tandem lifts’ of two 40ft containers at once, the new quay cranes will support an increase in efficiency and productivity, improved reliability for customers, and help to futureproof operations at the terminal. The investment is also expected to support faster vessel turnaround times and enhance Southampton’s ability to accommodate growing trade volumes.

Kris Adams, DP World CEO UK Ports & Terminals, said: “Trade powers the UK’s growth and prosperity, and today’s arrival of two fantastic new quay cranes is a landmark moment for Southampton and for our long-standing operation in this vital port. DP World’s investment is equipping our terminal here in this major trading city for the future, ensuring we can handle the next generation of large container vessels, boosting our capacity and efficiency. Upgraded infrastructure at Southampton will allow us to better serve customers across the UK and strengthen our terminal’s contribution to the national economy.”

Satvir Kaur MP, Member of Parliament for Southampton Test, said: “Southampton has a proud maritime history, and our port continues to play a vital role in supporting local jobs, trade and economic growth across the city and beyond. This significant investment by DP World demonstrates confidence in the port’s future and will help strengthen Southampton’s position as one of the UK’s most important trading gateways.”

Southampton is the UK’s third-largest container port, and the investment forms a central part of DP World’s long-term strategy to enhance operational capability and strengthen its role as a key gateway for UK trade. With strong connections to Asia, the Middle East and the Americas, the terminal plays a critical role in connecting Britain to international shipping and trade.

In 2025, DP World Southampton handled more than 2 million TEU, one of the highest annual throughput figures in the terminal’s history. This contributed to DP World’s UK container total of more than 5 million TEU in a national market handling over 9 million TEU.

The KeyBank Foundation also presented a $5,000 donation to A Room to Heal, which will support the organization in creating healing spaces for children facing serious medical challenges in the community.

“We are excited about the opportunity this new branch provides for us to deepen the strong relationships we have in the Vestal community,” said Steve Fournier, KeyBank Central New York Market President. “This new branch is yet another way KeyBank is investing in Central New York and the Southern Tier. We look forward to meeting and working more closely with our new neighbors, clients and community partners.”

In addition to high-touch banking services, this new state-of-the-art branch offers full-service banking capabilities, features digital video screens and a client hospitality area that can double as an area for financial seminars and group presentations with clients and the public, as well as a drive-up teller line, ATM and free parking. Longtime banker Danielle Bulger is serving as branch manager at the new location.

“KeyBank’s new branch in Vestal is uniquely designed to give our clients a more personal banking experience, with even better access to a full suite of products and services,” said Bulger. “We are excited to bring this more consultative approach to Vestal and demonstrate our commitment to helping our clients move forward on their financial journey.”

In addition to helping individuals and families achieve their financial goals, the new Vestal branch is also serving clients seeking to develop and grow businesses in the area.
