Keiron Northcott

Keiron is currently the deputy chief executive of Exeter Chiefs.

His role at Chiefs and his passion for rugby developed from an early age. Keiron was born in Exeter and attended Hele’s School where he first discovered his love of rugby. When he left school, he went straight into the insurance industry in Exeter working for Municipal Mutual Insurance. He also worked for Nat West Bank Insurance Services in Bristol and Northern Star before setting up Northcott Beaton Insurance Brokers, which he later sold to Lloyd Whyte Community Broking in 2021.

He joined Exeter Rugby Club when he was 16 and worked his way up through the sides to be a regular in the first XV. When he retired from rugby, he joined the committee running the rugby club and eventually became chairman. He has been the deputy chief executive of Chiefs since 2005.

Part of his role is to look after the match day arrangements. Before the Exeter Chiefs Foundation was set up, Keiron worked very closely with several local charities who helped with off-site car parking and bucket collection on match days. Keiron was, therefore, very keen to be involved with the Foundation to continue to support these very worthwhile local causes and to expand the charity to support other needy causes in the area.
