What inspired Exol to support Kidderminster Harriers Football Club?
Exol has an affinity for supporting the local community and local sports clubs – and we’re delighted to sponsor Kidderminster Harriers Football Club as a way for us to not only promote Exol as a leading lubricants supplier but also help to futureproof the club and invest in their ongoing success.
This is a special partnership for us as a company and it’s fantastic to be working with a football club that has its own track record of excellence in non-league football over the last 40 years.
We’re pleased to be working with Kidderminster Harriers and look forward to the next couple of years together as we build the relationship to forge a real link between two great Midlands brands!

Exol operates one of the most environmentally friendly fleets – the ‘Exol Pride’ barge – and is one of the only few companies to use the waterways to transport products.
