Claire Rive, Sports Nutrition National Sales Manager at Etixx said: “Our extensive experience, research and development show that we know exactly what today's athletes need to supplement their training and aid recovery.  Our first supplement was six years in the making, taking a lot of meticulous planning, development, and testing. Since then we’ve added a lot of products to our range to constantly be on the forefront of innovation. 

"All products in our range have been developed and tested with elite athletes.  We test every batch of each product to be over and above WADA compliance to ensure that Etixx is a brand that athletes can trust.  We firmly believe that through this way of working, Etixx can guarantee the quality of its products, a quality that has quickly earned respect and recognition in the world of professional sports. We are looking forward to working closely with London Irish over the next three seasons in maximising the benefits of the partnership and helping London Irish achieve their ambitious performance goals.”

Steve Walsh, newly appointed Head of Strength and Conditioning at London Irish added: "Etixx provide a wide range of sport supplements that are crucial for helping with rigorous training schedules and aiding recovery. They are clearly an innovator at the top end in terms of quality and research in this market today.  It is great to have them on board.”

We look forward to working with their team going forward as they continue to develop both their product and business and in creating an innovative activation campaign to drive measurable results.
