Gilbert Rugby will continue as Scottish Rugby’s exclusive ball and equipment supplier after agreeing a new long-term contract with the governing body.
“We are delighted to be renewing our sponsorship with Gilbert and to continue our longstanding association with such an established brand,” says Dominic McKay, Scottish Rugby director of communications and public affairs.
“It’s reassuring to have the backing of such a quality brand as we look ahead to an action packed 2012 for all our national teams at all levels of the game.”
Richard Gray, sales and marketing director at Gilbert Rugby, adds: “Scotland is one of our longest established relationships and Gilbert has been supplying the balls to Scottish Rugby from its earliest days.
“We are therefore very pleased that Scottish Rugby have chosen to continue to use the Gilbert ball.
“Their confidence endorses the quality of the Gilbert ball and demonstrates Gilbert’s strong association with rugby at the highest level around the world.
“We are now looking forward to continuing our excellent relationship with Scotland and helping Scottish Rugby develop the game with an increased investment in the sport at the grass-roots level and in the sevens arena, which first started in Scotland.”
