Babcock at HMNB Clyde is proud to announce a new three-year partnership with Glasgow Warriors, bringing together two organisations that share a commitment to high performance, teamwork and making a positive difference in the communities they serve.
The partnership reflects a natural alignment between elite sport and industry, where success is built on collaboration, trust, discipline and a relentless focus on continuous improvement. We will work together to inspire future talent, support local communities and create opportunities that benefit colleagues, supporters and young people across West Central Scotland.
As one of the region’s largest employers, our partnership with Glasgow Warriors will see the two organisations work together to promote the value of teamwork, resilience, wellbeing and personal development, helping to connect the worlds of sport, education and industry.
Glasgow Warriors Head of Commercial Glen Tippett said: “We are pleased to welcome Babcock to our network of sponsors and partners ahead of the start of the 2026/27, in a partnership that will allow both parties to learn and benefit from each other’s expertise.
“With firm roots in the region’s business landscape, Babcock share our values of developing the next generation and providing a high-quality team environment, and we look forward to working closely together over the next three years.”
Dale Smith, Managing Director of Babcock’s Clyde facility, said: “Glasgow Warriors and Babcock share a common set of values. Rugby is built on teamwork, discipline, accountability and a relentless commitment to delivering under pressure, qualities that are equally important in our business here at Clyde. Whether on the rugby pitch or supporting the defence of our nation, success depends on people working together, embracing innovation and continually striving to perform at their best.
“Through this partnership, we have an opportunity not only to support a successful Scottish team, but also to inspire future talent, strengthen our communities and showcase the exciting career opportunities available across Babcock. Glasgow Warriors is deeply rooted in the communities we serve, and together we can promote healthy and active lifestyles, develop aspiration, and create meaningful opportunities that leave a lasting positive impact across the west of Scotland.”
The agreement will see the Babcock brand feature on both the men’s and women’s Glasgow Warriors kits, strengthening visibility across the region while creating opportunities for recruitment, colleague engagement and community outreach activities throughout the partnership.
More than a sponsorship, the collaboration represents a shared investment in people and potential. By bringing together industry, sport and local communities, Babcock and Glasgow Warriors aim to encourage aspiration, support wellbeing and help build stronger, more connected communities.
