Maidenhead Rugby Club have announced that Distinctive Group will be the club’s new commercialisation partner, with the company having committed to a multi-year sponsorship deal.
The new deal was announced on Friday and commences ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
It builds on an existing relationship between the two parties that has seen players such as former captain Niall Crosley and winger Alex Turton sponsored by Distinctive.
Founded in 2013, Distinctive Group is an independent consultancy focused on the healthcare sector and on new pharmaceutical product launches.
It is expanding its services to offer additional agency, consulting, and contract services to broader commercial sectors, going beyond its primary business area of the healthcare industry.
In line with that, the company which aims to ‘elevate brands, people, patients, and businesses’ will hope to elevate the status of Maidenhead RFC both on and off the field through this sponsorship deal and there will be greater collaboration and involvement between the two parties in the years to come.
“From long-term fan and club volunteer roles at the club it feels right to expand and formalise our company involvement with Maidenhead Rugby Club, supporting these next years of club growth alongside them.
“We are delighted to provide support and assistance to allow the club to further its player development as well as overall club performance ambitions” said Dan Selby, managing director of Distinctive Group.
“As a main club and kit sponsor, we look forward to the association of the Distinctive Group business to the full breadth of the Maidenhead teams – from seniors through to the youth teams.
“Enabling both organisations in their pursuit of top performance, in their respective ways.
“We at Distinctive wish Maidenhead RFC a great 2025-26 season and beyond.”
Maidenhead chairman Steve Bough added: "As a club we welcome the further engagement and support from Distinctive Group, building upon Dan’s collaboration and efforts over the last 5 years or so - supporting and driving our club commercial sponsorships/relationships.
“Formalising our own relationship to a form this new partnership seems a logical and beneficial next step. Long may we continue to grow our commercial base and this step helps us further this with a strong partner."
