Travis Perkins extends elite partnership with Northampton Saints
Travis Perkins has renewed its long-standing partnership with Northampton Saints, extending one of the longest-running partnerships in professional sport.
The agreement will see Travis Perkins, the UK’s largest builders’ merchants, continue as an Elite Partner of the Saints.
The partnership between the two stretches back decades. Since first appearing on the Saints kit in 2001, Travis Perkins has supported the club through some of its most successful periods, including last season's Gallagher PREM title-winning campaign.
Alongside its support of the first team, Travis Perkins has demonstrated a longstanding commitment to grassroots rugby and the wider community. Earlier this year, Saints and Travis Perkins joined forces to support local rugby clubs through a building materials prize initiative, helping improve facilities for grassroots players and volunteers.
One of the partnership's standout successes has been the annual Christmas Toy and Hamper Collection. Through the initiative, Saints supporters, players, staff and Travis Perkins colleagues came together to donate gifts and essential items for families across Northamptonshire, making a meaningful difference during the festive period.
Rich Lavin from Travis Perkins said: “We're incredibly proud to continue our partnership with Northampton Saints. As two organisations with steep histories in Northampton, we've built a relationship that has stood the test of time and remains as strong today as ever.
“We've celebrated some fantastic sporting moments together, but what makes this partnership particularly special is the impact we can have beyond matchdays. Whether that's supporting grassroots rugby clubs, helping local communities through initiatives such as the Christmas Toy Appeal, or backing the club's ambitions on the pitch, we're committed to continuing that work together.
“Northampton Saints is a club that means a great deal to its supporters, its community and the town as a whole, and we're delighted to remain part of that journey."
Julia Chapman from Northampton Saints said: “Travis Perkins has been part of the Northampton Saints story for more than two decades, and we’re delighted to be extending a partnership that means so much to both organisations.”
