As Gloucester Rugby’s official legal partner and sponsor, Willans has joined forces with the organisation to relaunch the Gloucester Rugby Business Club with a series of ‘behind the scenes’ insight events.

The Gloucester Rugby Business Club is a forum for local, like-minded business owners and leaders to connect, collaborate and learn. Membership is open to all Gloucestershire businesses and includes invitations to a series of events throughout the year.

To mark the relaunch, Business Club members are invited to Kingsholm Stadium on Wednesday 19 November to hear Cillian Reardon, Head of Performance, and Dr James Hudson, Performance Nutritionist as they discuss the power of elite sports strategies to boost performance, resilience, and wellbeing in business.

The event’s sponsor and Gloucester Rugby’s official legal partner, Willans LLP solicitors, has been part of the Gloucestershire business community for over 75 years and actively supports a range of cultural, sporting and charitable organisations and initiatives including Cheltenham Festivals and Three Counties Agricultural Society.
