The enhanced partnership agreement will see BDO and Leinster co-develop joint business and marketing campaigns designed around their shared values and BDO’s new – IDEAS | PEOPLE | TRUST – brand identity.

“I’m especially looking forward to working closer with the women’s team and growing our partnership over the coming years. High performance is a value that both Leinster and BDO hold true and this new agreement means our brands will be aligned even closer.

“We are delighted to continue our trusted relationship as official business advisors to the club and we look forward to working with Leinster on a number of exciting joint brand initiatives as well as offering money can’t buy experiences to our clients.”

Speaking about the deal, Shane Nolan, CEO of Leinster Rugby said: “BDO have been a long established and valued member of the Leinster Rugby sponsorship family for ten years so naturally we are delighted that they have committed and not only that but have looked to enhance the partnership with us for a further three years.
