Scottish rugby stars are given a Head start

HEAD Resourcing, the Edinburgh-based recruitment firm, has announced a sponsorship deal with the Scottish side competing at the Rugby League World Cup.

The company will sponsor the side in this year's tournament in Australia alongside main sponsor The Cooperative.

Head Resourcing's Angus McNab is also the head coach of Scotland Amateurs and has been announced as one of head coach Steve McCormack's staff for the tournament.

Gordon Adam, founding director of Head, said: "

We believe it is important to give support where possible to Scottish athletes and sports teams and to help them achieve as great a success as possible.

"These days, competition is at its toughest and most challenging ever and we recognise that excellence has to be encouraged and supported in order to achieve success.

"This ethos has been key to Head Resourcing's success and is behind our sponsorship of the Scotland Rugby League team."

Mr McNab said: "It will be a great challenge in Australia. It is particularly pleasing that Head has not only allowed me the time off for the tournament but also gone further with their support."
