The Rugby Players Association (RPA) is delighted to announce Harry Thacker & Jake Woolmore of Bristol Bears as the worthy recipients of this season’s first Vodafone Business Gain Line Award.
The Vodafone Business Gain Line Award was created to support current and former players of the game in their off the field business ventures and personal development.

The duo created their business "Sivo Wellness" back in 2023, aiming to engage as many people as possible into the wellness space using accessible hot and cold therapy. This year they have taken their portable saunas and plunge pools to many locations, private hires and several festivals around the country. Since starting the business, Harry has become a qualified breath work coach, and is looking to start a yoga training course next year, with Jake focusing on massage and personal training. The business has just signed a lease to a permanent location where it will set up a wellness garden.

On winning the award, Thacker & Woolmore said: “Both of us are extremely stoked to be awarded the Vodafone Business Gain Line Award. A massive thank you to our rep Emily, for her time, effort and guidance throughout this process. This award and prize is coming at a pivotal time for our business as it will help support our new venture involving a permanent location based in the heart of Bristol.”

Thacker & Woolmore’s RPA Player Development Manager, Emily Lord, said: “I am delighted that Harry and Jake have been successful in winning the first Vodafone Business Gain Line Award of the season. When speaking to them both about Sivo the passion for health and wellbeing is clear. Making the business accessible to all is an insight into how inclusive they are, and I am excited to see what the future holds for the business.”

Maria Koutsoudakis, Chief Brand Officer, at Vodafone said: “I’d like to congratulate Harry and Jake on winning the first Gain Line Award of the season. It’s inspiring to see their innovative approach to making wellness more accessible. From bringing hot and cold therapy to festivals to launching the new wellness garden, this award is testament to Harry and Jake’s entrepreneurial drive and we’re looking forward to seeing the success of their future endeavours. As ‘The Nations Network’ we are proud to be able to support great initiatives like this.”
