Arnold Clark announces new multi-year partnership with Scottish Rugby

Arnold Clark will be the new front-of-strip sponsor of the Scotland Men’s team, as well as the title sponsor of the Men’s and Women’s Premiership and National Leagues from the start of the 2024/25 season.

The Group will provide vehicles to Scottish Rugby employees who work in the community throughout the country.

Arnold Clark’s COO, Russell Borrie, said: “At Arnold Clark, we understand the positive impact of sport. It’s something that inspires, entertains, and, most importantly, brings people together to play, to watch and to voice their support.

“Through our Community Fund, we’re proud to support teams at the grassroots level and to provide young athletes with the opportunity to develop. And now, as shirt sponsors of the Scotland Men’s rugby team, we’re thrilled to empower their successes as they represent Scotland at the highest level.

“This is a partnership built on shared values; both Arnold Clark and the Scottish Rugby are Scottish institutions with proven track records of success.

“We both aim to be the best in our respective fields, and we know there is so much that we can learn from each other. We will share best practices and work closely together to set new standards as we work towards our common goals.”

To mark the new partnership, Arnold Clark ‘painted’ the Scotland Rugby side’s home pitch at Scottish Gas Murrayfield yellow.

Scottish Rugby’s head of business development, Charlie Simpson, said: “It was clear Arnold Clark has exciting plans to expand its business beyond Scotland and Scottish Rugby provides a highly visible platform to help accelerate that growth both in the UK and beyond.

“Aligning two proud Scottish organisations creates lots of opportunities and we welcome Arnold Clark’s commitment to community sport and their desire to make the most of this partnership in the years to come.”
