“In a challenging market we continue to maintain a positive commercial standpoint thanks to the commitment of our invaluable sponsors, the Commercial Board and the development of our off-field opportunities.

“In driving off field success further we are fortunate to call on the services of Doug and Enda as we move on to the next stage of commercial growth for the organisation.  Both continue to deliver in meeting the demands of an ever changing environment while managing the excellent relations we have forged with our stakeholders over the years.”
