RMR Products from Exeter, owned by former speedway rider Roy Miller, are to supply Island Speedway’s 2016 race jackets – the bibs warn by riders during races.
Roy, who first saw speedway in 1981 at Exeter before moving to Adelaide in Australia, is now the managing director at RMR Products which has become the latest sponsor of the Islanders in the build up to 2016.
Talking about his decision to get involved with the Island Roy said:
“The reason I want to sponsor and be involved with Island Speedway is that I think it’s fantastic that the club is coming back and I would like to do my bit by sponsoring the clubs race jackets for the 2016 season as I do with Plymouth and also Exeter Falcons for 2016.
“So if this little bit helps the Island club then it’s worthwhile and also a pleasure to help out and save the club some money”.
Commercial Director of Island Speedway, Barry Bishop said:
“To be called out of the blue from Roy with this offer of support is tremendous. Martin and I work really hard to ensure our product and brand is right and Roy’s offer proves we are getting the right message out there.
“We already have great community relations with Exeter and the commercial team at Somerset via our team sponsor SBS Epos and this link up with Exeter’s jacket maker is fabulous.

Our plan is to allow fans to sponsor race jackets for the season and they will have the opportunity to keep this unique piece of island memorabilia for the future.
“On a day when I am remembering fondly Vince Mapley I am only too sure how he would have loved our progress and it is with him in our minds that we work every day.
“Thank you Roy and welcome to the team.”
