Essendon Football Club chief executive Xavier Campbell today welcomed Antler UK chief executive David Sharman to the club.

David visited the club's headquarters at the True Value Solar Centre for a tour of the facility and lunch with the club's commercial department.

Antler Luggage recently signed a new deal with the club to extend its partnership into an eleventh season.

As a Premium Partner, Antler has continued to evolve its partnership with the club over the years and next year will be the official travel partner of the Bombers.

Campbell said it was a pleasure to welcome David to the club.

"It was great to be able to show David around the club and showcase our new facility," Campbell said.

"As a club we place great importance on the relationship we have with our commercial partners. And we are proud to have had such a long standing partnership with Sonney and the team from Antler."

Sharman said he was enjoyed his time meeting with the Bombers.

“I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Xavier and his team,” Sharman said.

“The new facility is extremely impressive and certainly demonstrates the club's huge investment in its future.”

“Antler is proud to have such a long association with the Essendon Football Club and wishes the team every success for next year's season.”
