The team at the Cardiff office are proud to support the ‘Home of the Barbarians’ – Penarth RFC. The club is steeped in history and was founded in 1880 by Cyril and Llewellyn Batchelor, sons of John Batchelor whose statue stands in The Hayes Cardiff. The club has had many international players over the years, including the legendary Jack Bassett, who represented The British Lions and Captained Wales on 9 occasions. The highlight of the clubs year was the traditional hosting of the world-famous Barbarians Football Club at annual Good Friday fixtures that were always attended by enthusiastic capacity crowds. This fixture marked the start of the “Baa-Baas” annual South Wales tour from their “spiritual home” of Penarth.
Gary Power, Investment Manager in the Cardiff Office has played for Penarth over 150 times and captained the club for 3 years said ‘As a local office, we are delighted to be affiliated with such an important club within the Welsh Rugby Community and are proud to support. We feel as though we have many similarities between the firm and the club, such as the rich history of both organisations and emphasis on the importance of representing their respective communities within Wales, be it sporting or business.
