Rutpen Joins the Herd as New Partner for the 2025/26 Season


As excitement builds for their return to the ice this September, the Basingstoke Bison are proud to welcome Rutpen as an official partner for the 2025/26 season.


Based in the local area, Rutpen are a leading name in chemical manufacturing and solvent recycling. Their support for the Bison marks the beginning of a brand-new partnership with the club, and a strong show of community backing for the new era at Planet Ice Basingstoke.


As part of the partnership, Rutpen will take two rink boards, one for Rutpen and one for their sister company Ruxsil by Rupten.


In addition to their rink board advertising, Rutpen will sponsor forward Liam Morris for the 2025/26 season and show their support from the stands with two season tickets.


Basingstoke Bison’s Director and Head of Commercial Danny Kimber said “From my very first meeting with the team at Rutpen, it was clear how passionate they are about the club and how excited they are to be part of the Bison’s return. This is a fantastic partnership, and I’m pleased to welcome them back for the new era of the Bison.”


David Whittle, Transport Manager at Rutpen added “We are delighted to be able to support the Bison again following the relaunch and strongly admire Steve & his team for his efforts to bring the Bison back into the local community. We look forward to seeing the team on the ice in September and wish them the best of luck.”
