Aberdeen Asset Management Recommits To Edinburgh Rugby

Aberdeen Asset Management will continue to be Edinburgh Rugby’s main sponsor for at least another two years.
The extension will see the global asset manager continue to support the Murrayfield-based club until 2013, with the team continuing to sport the group’s logo on two of the biggest stages in the world of club rugby, the RaboDirect PRO12 and Heineken Cup.
The renewed deal is the latest milestone in a partnership that dates back to 2008.Edinburgh chief executive Craig Docherty today hailed the extension as a great coup that would give the club a real boost in both a rugby and commercial sense.
He said: “The sponsorship extension is fantastic news for everyone associated with Edinburgh Rugby and is a great endorsement of what we’re striving to achieve: giving the Edinburgh supporters a team of which they can be proud.
“Aberdeen will support the efforts being made by both ourselves and Scottish Rugby to develop the player pool and give us real credibility when we go into the marketplace to encourage other local and national businesses to get on board and invest.
“Aberdeen Asset Management want to work with us to grow the club both on and off the field and I’d like to put on record my thanks for the three seasons of valuable support they’ve already given and look forward to this partnership thriving in the years ahead.”
