Big Red Cloud have become a Match Official Partner of the Guinness PRO14 that will see the online accounts company take over the sponsorship space on the back of the referees\u2019 jerseys.<\/p>\n

The eye-catching logo will make its debut in the Guinness PRO14 Final Series this weekend as six teams remain in the race to the Final in Glasgow on May 25. Big Red Cloud have also signed up as a sponsor for the 2019\/20 season and will be a firm supporter of the Championship\u2019s team of referees as the partnership promises to increase funding for the Match Official programme.<\/p>\n

Big Red Cloud are specialists in Online Accounting to businesses of all sizes and have over 25 years of experience in accounting, payroll and book keeping. With over 75,000 customers in the Republic of Ireland they are targeting the UK in the next phase of their growth which is why they have chosen to partner with the Guinness PRO14.<\/p>\n

This is not Big Red Cloud\u2019s first venture into professional rugby. In 2015 the firm won a public vote to be the \u2018sponsor for a day\u2019 for Leinster Rugby \u2013 a success that planted the seed for Big Red Cloud to be a more familiar brand in the rugby space.<\/p>\n

It has been another successful season for the Guinness PRO14, having introduced new broadcasters in the UK and Ireland, while also increasing turnover once again. With some of the biggest games of the season still to play, Big Red Cloud will arrive at the heart of the action as five teams line up to try and challenge defending champions Leinster for their crown.<\/p>\n

Dermot Rigley, Commercial Director of PRO14 Rugby<\/strong>, welcomed Big Red Cloud to the Championship:\u00a0\u201cEvery aspect of our business relies on having great supporters who believe in our vision for what the Guinness PRO14 should be and Big Red Cloud\u2019s commitment will allow us to increase investment in our Match Official programme\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBig Red Cloud will be on our match officials\u2019 jerseys well into 2020 and we\u2019re proud to have such an ambitious company placing their brand on one of the best pieces of real estate that we have to offer! The Guinness PRO14 continues to go from strength to strength and organisations like Big Red Cloud recognise that and want to be a part of our story.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Marc O\u2019Dwyer, CEO of Big Red Cloud<\/strong>, who was present at last week\u2019s match officials camp in Wales ahead of the Final Series, said:\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to be supporting the Guinness PRO14 match officials as an official partner. It was a real honour to see how the referees challenge themselves off the pitch to be better on it. Naturally, our business is based around accountability and to see how meticulous these guys are in their preparation underlines the shared values we hold \u2013 we take great pride in delivering for our customers and the referees\u2019 job is to provide the best performance possible for the teams, the fans and the Guinness PRO14\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll get a real kick out of seeing the referees running out on the pitch with the Big Red Cloud logo on the back of their shirts. I\u2019d like to wish all of the referees who get selected the very best of luck over the next few weeks.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
