Grenfell Fire
Ulster Rugby accused of ‘calculated move’ by Grenfell families as it ends Kingspan partnership
Rugby club had come under increased pressure to cut ties with the Irish building materials firm in light of an inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire
Ulster Rugby is seeking a new sponsor after Kingspan, the Irish building material giant, said that it will conclude its association with the club on a phased basis by mid-2025.
The announcement of the termination of the long-running partnership comes after Jonny Petrie, Ulster Rugby’s chief executive, has said the club was conducting a “major review” of its sponsorship deal with Kingspan in October in light of a probe into the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy.
