Glasgow Warriors are pleased to announce that Glen Tippett has been appointed Head of Commercial, from FOSROC Super6 outfit, Ayrshire Bulls.

Glen will begin his role with the club at the start of March. He joins with the aim of growing and ensuring a thriving network of sponsors, partners and business club members.

Glen arrives at Glasgow Warriors from Ayrshire Bulls, where he has been General Manger since 2019. Spending more than 12 years with Scottish Rugby in various development roles he is a known face in rugby.

Welcoming his appointment, Manging Director Al Kellock, said: “Glen was the stand-out applicant in our recruitment process. Particularly because of his successes growing Ayrshire Bulls’ portfolio of sponsors.

“He also brings a wealth of knowledge from his time working in the community game. This is a valuable asset as we strive to continue to have an impact in the lives of people in our city and across the west.”

Glen Tippett said: “Glasgow Warriors has a fantastic offering into the community. I want to build on that narrative, and use the great players the club has and its rich history. I want to share our story and bring new people and sponsors on our journey.

“I’m passionate about rugby, I’m passionate about Glasgow Warriors, and I know the values this sport has and the positive impact it can have in peoples lives.  I’ve been fortunate enough to contribute to successes at Ayr as a player and developing the club off the pitch over the past 20 years.

“Success often comes from a desire to be a part of something. I can’t wait to get involved with and contribute to the success of Glasgow Warriors moving forward.”
