Marsh sponsor RFU community rugby

Marsh has become the official insurance broker of the Rugby Football Union (RFU) and a sponsor of the RFU's community rugby programme.

Marsh will support key programmes for grassroots rugby and England’s 2,100 clubs from this season.

These include the RFU’s medical programmes and its scrum factory, which encourages and trains front row forwards.

Martin South, chief executive of Marsh UK, said: “ We look forward to a highly successful association with the RFU to the benefit of rugby in the community.”

Joe Grogan, chief executive of Marsh’s National Corporate Practice, said: “We see this sponsorship as being not just good news for the RFU and Marsh; it is an excellent opportunity for everyone involved in rugby at the community level to access information, products and services which are tailored to improve the health and wellbeing of clubs, players, officials and many others connected with community rugby.”

Andrew Scoular, RFU director of community rugby, said: “This partnership with Marsh is excellent news for community rugby in England. We look forward to working with Marsh and building on their long-established association with our sport.”
