Building Services Provider Chadwicks has announced a new partnership with Irish Olympic boxer Jennifer Lehane.

As part of this partnership, Lehane will act as a brand ambassador for the company and promote the brand through a variety of campaigns in 2025.

This is their latest sporting partnership following on from a front of shirt deal with League of Ireland Champions Shelbourne FC, on both their Men’s and Women’s teams, a naming rights deal for Chadwicks Wexford Park in Gaelic Games and a similar brand ambassador partnership with Olympian Jack Marley

Lehane put her primary teaching job on hold in 2022 to focus full time on boxing. The Meath native is the reigning Irish National Elite Champion at 54 kg, having won her first national title in 2021.

She is part of the Irish team travelling to Serbia this week for the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships.

Before making the switch to boxing while studying in DCU, she was a Taekwondo star who won two European senior titles as well as medals at World Junior and Senior Championships.

“I am thrilled to be partnering with Chadwicks as their new brand ambassador and working with them in what is shaping up to be an exciting year,” she said.

“Chadwicks is a major supporter of local communities nationwide, and that’s something I value strongly from both my boxing career and my work as a primary teacher.”

“We are delighted to welcome Jennifer Lehane to the team here at Chadwicks,” said Patrick Atkinson, Chief Executive Officer of Chadwicks Group.

“She’s a phenomenal talent and we are excited to work with her as she looks to build on her impressive career to date.”

“We’re looking forward to cheering Jennifer on at the World Championships this month and can’t wait to partner with her on some exciting campaigns later on this year.”
