Harlequins, the UK Premiership Rugby team, has announced a new partnership to investment platform Saxo. They have become the Official Trading Partners of Harlequins.
As part of the agreement, Saxo’s new branding and tagline ‘Saxo, be invested’ will now be shown across the Twickenham Stoop – the home of Harlequins.
Saxo Bank has a history of sport partnerships including with the Tour De France and in Formula One once sponsoring Renault and Lotus, alongside some of the sport’s biggest stars including Romain Grosjean.
Laurie Dalrymple (CEO Harlequins) commented on the deal.
“As a sports club we strive for best-in-class performance both on and off the field, with the lifting of the Gallagher Premiership trophy at the end of each season the ultimate marker of success.
“Having won the league two times during the club’s history, we are fortunate enough to have a good understanding of what it takes to be the best in class to reach the pinnacle of professional sport. We are delighted to partner with Saxo who are the pinnacle of their industry and understand what it takes to win.”
Charles-White Thomson, CEO of Saxo UK, added:
“We are delighted to announce this partnership which we envisage growing further with time. It’s an honor to partner with a rugby club with such a strong pedigree, and a track record for winning.
“Though from different fields, Saxo and Harlequins share many similarities, including a strong and competitive spirit, esprit de corps, a shared desire to continually evolve, and a keen focus on delivering an excellent experience for our engaged and loyal clients or supporter base. I look forward to developing this relationship further and evidencing that sport and finance make excellent teammates.”
Saxo Bank has announced its plans to become public via a SPAC merge at a valuation of $2 billion, and then list its shares on Euronext Amsterdam. The company is controlled by China’s Geely Group.
