Church & Dwight have deep roots in Folkestone stretching back more than six decades. They’ve developed and manufactured globally recognised personal care brands right on our doorstep.

“This partnership is another positive step forward, as we continue to grow on and off the pitch, and we are very much looking forward to working together over the coming seasons. A big thank you to everyone involved in making this partnership possible, particularly David Upton.”
