Exeter Chiefs Converts New Partner

Gallagher Premiership rugby union club Exeter Chiefs has partnered with Vertu Motors.

As an official partner of the club, Vertu’s branding will feature on the four corners of Sandy Park – Exeter’s 15,600-seater stadium.

Big screen advertising, product placement and player appearances at Vertu Motors dealerships and events are also included in the deal.

In addition, the ‘Player of the Day’ social media vote for both the men’s and women’s matches will now bear the Vertu Motors name.

Robert Forrester, Chief Executive Officer of Vertu Motors, said, “Vertu Motors is determined to be more than just a spectator; we want to be an active part of the communities we serve, and our sports partnerships play a key role in achieving this. We’re thrilled to be an official partner with Exeter Chiefs, a club that truly embodies the community spirit of rugby.

“Last year, we backed the Chiefs through Bristol Street Motors and found it to be a fantastic, mutually beneficial agreement. We were thrilled to have players engaging with fans alongside us at the Devon County Show. I am excited to see what we can do together this season.”

Lisa Duncan, Director of Sales and Marketing at Exeter Chiefs, added, “We’re thrilled to welcome Vertu Motors into our team of official partners. Aligning with like-minded brands is crucial for us to make a powerful impact together.

“Vertu Motors shares our ambition to collaborate with inspiring and leading brands, and their enthusiasm for Rugby Union makes this partnership a perfect match. We’re looking forward to a victorious and enduring partnership.”
