Hull FC are delighted to announce Sports Events Services and PBS Construction as the club’s new principal partners for the 2026 season.
In a first for the club, the Black & Whites will team up with two principal partners next season, proudly carrying two significant local brands across our principal and alternate jerseys.
Sports Events Services, who will proudly front our principal jersey, are one of the region’s leading audio, visual and staging companies.
SES have played a key role in producing live television and staged events for over 25 years, including most prominently PDC darts events across Europe including the World Championships and the Premier League.
Managing Director Mark Leak, said: “We are delighted to become principal partners of Hull FC for the 2026 season – as a family business, this is an incredibly proud moment to see our brand front and centre of the club’s principal jersey next season.
“Our involvement with the club has grown over the past few seasons, so we’re incredibly pleased to have evolved the partnership to this stage.
“And as a Black & White supporter, this is a really special moment for me personally to see our brand so closely linked to the club I have followed my whole life.”
Meanwhile, local civil engineering company PBS Construction will take pride of place across our two alternate jerseys in 2026.
Long-standing club partners in a variety of areas for over a decade, the family-run business have been one of the region’s leading firms in the industry for almost 40 years, developing successful partnerships with local authorities including Hull City Council, East Riding of Yorkshire Council, North East Lincolnshire Council and North Yorkshire County Council across a variety of road and infrastructure projects.
Managing Director Glenn Smurthwaite, said: “We’ve been involved with the club commercially for over ten years, so having ridden both the highs and some lows during that time as supporters as well as sponsors, this is a really exciting opportunity for the company to take our partnership to the next level.
“2025 was an exciting year of growth for the club, and having spoken to both Richie (Myler) and Andrew (Thirkill) about their vision for the club, we want our partnership to go beyond just ‘sponsorship’ to help build into that vision – a big part of which is engaging both supporters and commercial partners.
“As a family of lifelong fans, this is a proud moment for us and we are hugely excited to be joining the club on this new journey.”
Hull FC Chief Executive, Richie Myler, added: “We are absolutely delighted to unveil two local brands as joint principal partners for the first time in the club’s history.
“Both SES and PBS are brilliant success stories in their respective industries in the city of Hull; Mark and Glenn have been key partners for a number of years now, and already have a great relationship with the club which we’re excited to build on and expand further in 2026.
“Their brands will sit proudly across our jerseys in the coming season, which we’re excited to unveil very soon!”
