Rugby sponsorships

London Scottish RFC

Aberdeen Standard Investments is delighted to be Official Club Sponsor to London Scottish RFC who play in the RFU Championship. The partnership has enabled the signing of key players over the years, including Mark Bright who has made over 100 appearances for the club and more recently the support of the London Scottish Minis youth development programme for both boys and girls. The Aberdeen Standard Investments logo is displayed prominently on the front of the playing shirts and Club replicas, and we have a brand presence at the Athletic Ground which London Scottish RFC share with Richmond.

Caledonian Thebans

In 2019, we began sponsoring the Caledonian Thebans, a gay inclusive rugby squad based in Edinburgh. Branded under our LGBT+ inclusion group, known as the Lighthouse Network our support of the club helps fly the flag for equality and inclusion both home and overseas. With over 70 players and plans for a women’s team in the pipeline, the Edinburgh club offers twice-weekly coaching sessions and regular matches against both mainstream and inclusive clubs and strives to develop confident players and encourages participation in rugby from groups which have traditionally not been widely accepted, or under-represented in the sport.
