Warriors contract renewal Our sponsorship of the Glasgow Warriors as Official Civil Engineering Partner was renewed for the 21/22 season. We’re very proud of the longstanding relationship we have with the Warriors and over the years have worked together to bring light to many important topics, from mental health to young apprenticeships.
