Chiefs Announce Sika as New Main Club Partner
Exeter Chiefs are pleased to announce that Sika UK have joined the club as main club partner for the 2024/25 season in a deal which will also see the company become the new front of shirt sponsor.
Sika’s logo will feature on the front of all three men’s matchday kits for the new season. In addition, Sika have become the new principal community partner, supporting the club in its extensive outreach work across the south-west.
Truly looking to seal their connection with the club, Sika will sponsor Welsh international and team captain Dafydd Jenkins for the season.

Tom Forsyth, General Manager at Sika, said:
“At Sika, our ethos is all about generating lasting added value. As we look forward, we want to take this beyond the construction industry and apply it to the wider community.
“We understand the important role of clubs like Exeter Chiefs and the outstanding contribution they provide in supporting grassroots initiatives and local talent.
“Therefore, it’s an ideal fit for us to support the club during what is tipped to be a fantastic season. We look forward to cheering the teams on from the sidelines and witnessing as the club continues to make its mark on the local sports scene.”
Tony Rowe CBE, Chairman and CEO of Exeter Chiefs, said:
“For an international company the size and reputation of Sika to become our main club partner highlights the incredible development and reach of the Chiefs brand.
“Sika’s strong set of values and principles which makes up the DNA of the company are to be admired and many of which are reflected in how we run Exeter Rugby Club, so this really is a perfect match.”
Sam Blake, Head of Sales and Marketing of Exeter Chiefs, said:
“This partnership brings Sika into every aspect of the club, from shirt and player sponsorship to support for the community team which will help to bring rugby values to thousands of children across the south-west.”
The sponsorship agreement will also see Sika’s branding displayed on the club website, in matchday programmes and across Sandy Park stadium – from dugouts and pitch LED panels to the central billboard and corporate hospitality box.
Fans will be able to see the brand new front of shirt sponsor on the new kit at the launch at the three different pre-season friendlies scheduled to take place at Sandy Park – starting with a summer double header on Saturday, August 24.
