Charles Stanley extends partnership with Harlequins

Harlequins has extended its partnership with wealth manager Charles Stanley, with Charles Stanley becoming an official partner of Big Game. Charles Stanley is the team's Official Welfare Management Partner.

A relationship that began in 2019 will continue to focus on player welfare initiatives. Earlier this year, the Club and Charles Stanley released the ‘State of Play’, an independent player education report, with a focus on a player’s transition out of rugby at the end of their playing career. With this new partnership, Quins and Charles Stanley will continue to help players plan for their transition out of the game and make necessary financial provisions for their future.

Harlequins CEO Laurie Dalrymple said: “This has been a successful partnership, especially for the benefit of our players and the Harlequins Foundation, and we look forward to sharing and learning from each other as our partnership evolves.”

Paul Abberley, CEO at Charles Stanley, confirmed: “We have been able to make a difference, through initiatives, such as the educational report “State of Play”, that advise players on how they can plan for life after Rugby. We will continue to focus on supporting the players’ welfare and connecting with our clients through a mutual love of the game.”
