Aberdeen Asset Management Extends Sponsorship Deal with SGU and SLGA
WSM were up in Edinburgh on Tuesday 17th January to manage the announcement that Aberdeen Asset Management is continuing its fantastic support of the Scottish Golf Union (SGU) and the Scottish Ladies’ Golfing Association (SLGA), with a new two-year dual extension of its sponsorship of the respective National Squads.
The investment takes Aberdeen Asset Management’s partnership with the SGU to seven years, having begun their support of the Men’s Elite Squad and Academy back in 2007, coupled with their sponsorship of Scotland’s leading female amateurs which commenced in 2010.
Scotland players competing at Boys’ and Men’s level will continue to wear the Aberdeen Asset Management logo on their national team apparel and golf bags, as will the SLGA’s Girls’ and Ladies’ Squads. The deal – until 2013 – again strengthens Aberdeen Asset Management’s commitment to golf in Scotland.
Martin Gilbert, Chief Executive of Aberdeen Asset Management, said: “We are very proud to support Scotland’s National amateur squads and delighted to see the progress many of the players have made since we began our sponsorship back in 2007. It’s vital for Scottish Golf that these young players are given the best opportunities to develop their games.”
“Aberdeen Asset Management is committed to helping Scottish golfers perform at the highest level, from our leading amateurs to our top professionals and keeping our profile as ‘The Home of Golf’ within the global game,” he added.
Michael Stewart, part of the winning Walker Cup side at Royal Aberdeen and ex-SGU player, benefited hugely from Aberdeen Asset Management’s support during a distinguished amateur career.
The Troon professional said: “During my time as an amateur, I received great support from Aberdeen Asset Management, giving me great opportunities such as warm weather training, working with their sponsored professionals and gaining experience off the course.
“It’s brilliant news for the current male and female squads that such support is going to continue for another two years. I’m sure the players will benefit hugely from Aberdeen Asset Management’s backing.”
