COMMERCIAL MANAGER CLARE KEEBLE INTRODUCES THE HAMLET LINE-UP OFF THE PITCH
Every season I am blown away by the loyalty and generosity shown by our partners and every single person or company that advertises, sponsors or partners with the football club.
I would like to welcome everyone back for the 2025/26 season and over the coming weeks will be sharing more information about our current sponsors as well as introducing you all to some of the new partners, sponsors and advertisers that will be joining the Dulwich Hamlet family for the first time this season. The club wouldn’t be able to survive without the support that everyone continues to give – support that is very much appreciated by all of us at Champion Hill...
I am delighted to confirm that Defected Records, Rising Edge, Octopus Energy, Yonder and Virtus Partners in Construction are our shirt, short and training kit sponsors for the 2025/26 season...
Having started as the back of shirt sponsor in 2017, Defected Records upgraded to the front of shirt sponsor as soon as the opportunity became available. In 2022, Defected also enriched their support for ‘The Hamlet’ by becoming the first ever sponsor of the Tommy Jover main stand and have remained as the ‘front of shirt’ and ‘main stand’ sponsor ever since. Their rainbow slogan ‘In Our House We Are All Equal' sits proudly on display at Champion Hill for everyone to see when entering the stadium, sharing an important message about inclusivity and shared values...
"We’re proud to partner with Dulwich Hamlet FC as the official shirt sponsor for both the Men’s and Women’s teams. At Defected, we’ve always championed community, inclusivity, and culture – values that align perfectly with Dulwich Hamlet’s spirit on and off the pitch. This partnership is more than a badge on a shirt; it’s a celebration of music, football, and the communities that bring them both to life.”
WEZ SAUNDERS,
Chief Executive Officer, Defected Records
Continuing to sponsor the back of our shirts, as well as the six big banners at the Dog Kennel Hill End are Rising Edge. They have been sponsoring the club since 2022 and recently produced a special podcast about diversity which features our very own fan favourite Danny Mills. Isabel and Philippe can often be seen sitting in the main stand cheering on the team and have provided work placements within their company for some of our players in the past. Rising Edge continue to support the football club and have hosted several successful football tournaments and industry events at the stadium over the past few seasons which has generated extra income for the club and cemented our relationship with them even further…
“We are very proud of now being in our fourth year of supporting Dulwich Hamlet. Through DHFC’s commitment to its community, and its promotion of the fairness values of diversity and equality, we recognised ourselves. This alignment in values helps us positioning ourselves in our own market, defining our purpose and objectives”.
PHILIPPE GOURAUD, CEO, Rising Edge
A new signing for the 2025/26 season, Yonder – who offer premium debit and credit rewards cards to their customers – are our new short sponsors. Since 2021, they've been helping members across the UK discover the best independent experiences across food, culture, wellness and travel...
“Yonder is proud to be a new kit sponsor of Dulwich Hamlet for 2025/26. One of London’s most iconic non-league football clubs, with more than 130 years of history under its belt, Dulwich Hamlet is so much more than just a football team. Known and loved for its fiercely loyal and wonderfully diverse fanbase, Dulwich has long been a home for locals, lifelong fans and first-timers alike, standing up for inclusion, community and good times on a Saturday.”
SHANICE DAECHE, VP Marketing Yonder
Constantine the Octopus will continue to provide a vibrant splash of pink to our football shirt sleeves again this season following the renewal of the Octopus Energy contract. Octopus Energy also power the stadium with 100% renewable energy which helps reduce the club’s environmental footprint.
“Octopus Energy and Dulwich Hamlet FC share a love for community, sustainability, and bold moves – together, we're powering football with purpose. We're incredibly excited to be partnering with Dulwich for another season and can’t wait to see what the year brings!”
Aliya Khan, Product and Marketing Manager
Octopus Energy
Virtus Partners in Construction
Continuing to sponsor the training kit for all of our teams as well as the four big banners behind the goal at the Greendale End are Virtus Partners in Construction. This is the second season of a special five season arrangement, with Virtus having agreed to change the layout of our Boardroom as well as transform the top floor of our stadium's main building into a new event space. The new upstairs space is now available for hire and helps generate extra revenue for the Club by hosting lots of different events...
“We’re proud to be partnered with Dulwich Hamlet FC, a club that not only represents the spirit of our local community but also stands firmly for values that resonate with our own – especially the fight against inequality in all its forms. This partnership has allowed us to explore cross-industry similarities as well as enjoy sharing and learning from different experiences and expertise and is a reflection of our shared commitment to creating positive change. We look forward to continuing to build something truly meaningful together.”
BRANDON WATTS, Marketing Manager,
Virtus Partners in Construction
ALSO SPONSORING IN 2025/26...
Having been sponsoring the football club for several years now, Build Team continue to advertise on the Toilets Opposite stand as well as pitch-side for 2025/26. Dan, Sarah and their dog Biscuit are regular visitors at Champion Hill and have even designed a special pink and blue bar scarf with Build Team branding on it for their staff to wear...
“Proud sponsors of The Hamlet for over three years, our sponsorship has helped raised awareness of Build Team's brand within the local community and it has been a privilege to be aligned with such a diverse, inclusive and hardworking organisation. Grassroots football has so many benefits beyond the game itself; it brings people together, provides entertainment for young and old and gives everyone a sense of purpose – whether that be spectating, socialising or dressing up in 'Pink & Blue'! Personally, I love the walk to Champion Hill – and win or lose – I always know there will be plenty to talk about as we amble back home. One of life’s treasured pleasures.”
DAN DAVIDSON, Founder & CEO Build Team
A local sash window specialist company, Bespoke Wndows have been advertising with the Club for over twenty years making them our longest partner to date which has helped shape the football club into what it is today...
"Hamlet are one of the best things about
East Dulwich! Alongside Bespoke Windows,
of course!"
MURRAY SMITH,
Managing Director, Bespoke Windows
Continuing to offer a special 20% fan discount to Season Ticket holders, Supporters’ Trust members and fans wearing club colours on matchdays, MEAT Liquor continue to advertise on our Dugout. Founder Scott is a loyal Hamlet follower and usually watches the games from the club bar on matchdays...
“We’ve been sponsoring a Dugout at Dulwich Hamlet for a good few years now, and it’s something we genuinely love being part of. It’s not just about football — it’s the people, the atmosphere, the proper sense of community you get at Champion Hill. We’re proud to play a small part in that, and we’ll keep showing up, pints in hand, for as long as they’ll have us.”
SCOTT COLLINS, Founder, MEAT Liquor
