Cardiff Rugby are delighted to welcome Ron Skinner & Sons as an Official Kit Partner, with the family-owned business’ logo set to feature on the playing shorts from the 2025/26 season.

Founded in 1968 by Ron and Rachel Skinner in Tredegar, Ron Skinner & Sons has grown from a small car repair shop and petrol station into one of Wales’ best-known automotive retailers, offering one of the largest selections of quality used cars in the country. Today, with showrooms in Tredegar, Cardiff, Neyland and Cross Hands, the company remains committed to its founding values of providing high-quality cars at the lowest possible prices.

With over 750 cars in stock, more than 300,000 satisfied customers, and a reputation for five-star service, Ron Skinner & Sons continues to expand its presence across South Wales — including a remarkable recovery after the devastating fire at its Tredegar showroom in 2024. Thanks to the loyalty of its staff and customers, the business has rebuilt stronger than ever.

Jack Butler, Commercial Director at Cardiff Rugby, said:

“We’re delighted to welcome Ron Skinner & Sons as our new shorts sponsor. They are a proud Welsh business, and this partnership is fantastic for the club, representing another positive step in strengthening our commercial growth. With Ron Skinner & Sons joining our existing automotive partners, it’s great to see these relationships complementing each other and helping us build a strong network of trusted brands. We look forward to working closely with them throughout the season.”

Philip and Mark Skinner, of Ron Skinner & Sons, added:

“We are extremely proud to partner with Cardiff Rugby and see our name on the kit of such an iconic Welsh club. Like Cardiff Rugby, we are rooted in the community and built on values of hard work, loyalty and delivering quality. This partnership gives us the opportunity to build further awareness of our brand within the CF postcode and to connect with supporters across the region.”

This exciting partnership underlines Cardiff Rugby’s ongoing commitment to working with homegrown Welsh businesses and strengthening commercial links across South Wales.
