Jeremy Hicks
Managing Director, Jaguar Land Rover UK

Land Rover is the latest blue chip company to join our family of sponsors and it’s great that they’ve chosen to partner with Glasgow Warriors in order to further strengthen their position within UK rugby.

The Land Rover brand and its outstanding range of all purpose vehicles has such a rich and respected heritage in rugby.

To have the excellent support of a global brand that shares similar values to us, made this a natural fit for the club and we’re really looking forward to working closely with them over the next three years.”
