England Rugby Scores New Licensees

CPLG, licensing agent for the Rugby Football Union, has signed a raft of new licensees for products that will arrive at British retailers in 2015.

“2015 will be an exciting year for rugby, from the RBS 6 Nations to the QBE Internationals culminating in the World Cup in September. We are pleased to be continuing to strengthen and grow the England Rugby merchandising offering for fans alongside what will be an important year for England Rugby,” says Jane Barron, licensing manager, England Rugby.

Among the new partners are Husky Retail for mini-fridges, Premier Sports Lights for novelty lighting with sound and LR Group International for foldable rucksacks.

The new products will be in-store for the start of the RBS 6 Nations Championship, kicking off in February 2015.

“We’re looking forward with hope and excitement to next year’s World Cup and are very pleased to be bringing these new licensees into the England Rugby licensee squad,” says Nicola Thompson, senior business development manager, CPLG.
