Hsbc Names Lions Ambassadors
HSBC, the principal partner of the British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa in 2009, has named its four HSBC ambassadors for the tour.
Gareth Edwards, Gavin Hastings, Jason Robinson and Brian O’Driscoll will all work as HSBC ambassadors over the coming 13 months and during the tour.
Giles Morgan, Group Head of Sponsorship, HSBC Holdings plc, said: ‘The four ambassadors are arguably some of the finest and best loved Lions players of all time and we are delighted to be working with them over the coming year.
‘The four are all tremendous role models and have an unrivalled wealth of Lions experience, having collected a total of 25 Lions caps between them. Everyone at HSBC is excited to have them on board for the tour.’
The ambassadors will make a number of personal appearances for HSBC over the coming months, and will regularly feature on the HSBC section of the official British & Irish Lions website www.lionsrugby.com.
