Partnership aims to ‘put Doncaster on the map’

A South Yorkshire partnership is bringing business and sport closer together to boost growth and community impact.

Club Doncaster has become a Patron of Doncaster Chamber, while the Chamber has joined Club Doncaster’s 100 Club as a Gold Partner. 

Officials say the dual agreement strengthens ties between two of the city’s leading institutions and signals a shared commitment to collaboration, leadership and economic development.

They add that the partnership is a way to create more opportunities for businesses across Doncaster.

Shaun Lockwood, chief commercial officer at Club Doncaster, said: “This is more than a partnership – it’s a statement of shared ambition for Doncaster. 

“By working more closely with the Chamber, we’re reinforcing our commitment to the city’s growth, both economically and socially.

“With Club Doncaster becoming a Chamber Patron and the Chamber joining our 100 Club as a Gold partner, it creates a stronger, more connected business-sport-community alliance.”

Jade Dyer, chief operating officer at Doncaster Chamber of Commerce, added: “We are really excited to be joining the 100Club as a Gold Partner. 

“It’s a brilliant initiative that brings businesses together, fosters collaboration, and supports the fantastic community work that Club Doncaster delivers across the city.

"At the same time, we’re also delighted to welcome Club Doncaster as one of our Chamber Patrons. 

“Club Doncaster’s reach across sport, business and community life makes them a perfect fit for patronage, and we know their involvement will add enormous value to our collective work. 

“We look forward to working closely with them to champion our city, create new opportunities for local businesses, and continue to put Doncaster on the map as a great place to live, work and invest.”

Through its new Patron role, Club Doncaster joins a small group of high-profile organisations that influence the local business landscape and benefit from opportunities for engagement and thought leadership.

Meanwhile, Doncaster Chamber’s move to Gold Partner status secures its place at the centre of the 100 Club, a network designed to connect ambitious organisations through exclusive events, brand-building opportunities and matchday experiences at the Eco-Power Stadium.

Gaynor Waddington, head of partnerships at Club Doncaster, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Doncaster Chamber as a Gold Partner of our 100 Club. 

“With the Chamber’s extensive network and expertise, we are confident this collaboration will create even more opportunities for local businesses to thrive.”
