Bringing RAF rugby and BT closer together

Colm O’Neill, MD for Major & Public Sector, shares why it’s such an honour to be chosen as the RAF’s official partner for this year’s Inter-Services Rugby Union Competition.

The Royal Air Force commemorates its centenary in 2018. In this landmark year, we’re especially honoured that the RAF has chosen BT as their official partner for the Inter-Services Rugby Union Competition.

BT’s relationship with the UK Armed Forces stretches back many decades. We’re the UK’s largest employer of former military personnel and reservists, and have hundreds of BT people proud to support the work of the UK Armed Forces every day.

The Inter-Services Rugby Union Competition is among the most popular sporting events in the UK Armed Forces calendar, with the biggest matches drawing crowds of 90,000.

As the RAF marks its 100th year, it’s fitting that we can celebrate our long-standing relationship together in this way. It will be a tournament to remember.
