Team Bath Netball announces new partnership with Bechtle to champion performance, talent development and growth of women’s sport

Team Bath Netball is proud to announce Bechtle, one of Europe’s leading B2B suppliers of IT solutions and services, as a new sponsor for the remainder of the 2026 NXT Gen season.

The new partnership brings together two organisations united by a shared belief in developing people, unlocking potential and creating environments where talented individuals can thrive.

Bechtle employs more than 15,000 people across 14 European countries and supports over 80,000 customers with competitively priced IT products through its customised online portal and specialist account management teams. With six offices across the UK & Ireland – including headquarters in Chippenham, Wiltshire – and worldwide capabilities through the Global IT Alliance (GITA), Bechtle designs, delivers and manages future‑ready technology environments—spanning workplace solutions, data centre modernisation, IT security, multi‑cloud, artificial intelligence, and even technology‑driven interior fitouts.

Emily Siddy, Netball Manager at Team Bath, said: “We are delighted to welcome Bechtle into the Team Bath Netball family. To find synergy with a global brand based right here in the South West strongly aligns with our commercial ambitions for the programme – and importantly our longer-term aspirations for netball in the region. The partnership will directly support the continued growth and sustainability of our pathway and our ability to help athletes fulfil their potential.”

James Napp, Managing Director, Bechtle UK, added: “Team Bath Netball represents excellence, discipline, dedication, and the power of collaboration – values that strongly align with Bechtle. This new partnership is a fantastic opportunity to support elite performance while strengthening our connection with the local sporting community and getting behind one of the fastest growing sports in the UK.”

Bechtle branding will be visible throughout the remainder of the 2026 season, both within the Team Bath Arena and across digital and social media channels.
