The Howden Melrose Sevens is proud to announce that Cairnhill, the steel solutions fabricator, has again become the official sponsor of the Main Grand Stand at the 2025 Howden Melrose Sevens. In addition to this partnership, Cairnhill will also be the Shirt Sponsor for the Melrose Rugby Sevens Squad.
The 2025 Howden Melrose Sevens weekend will take place from 22nd to 25th May, with the main day of rugby action set for Saturday 24th May. Fans across Scotland and beyond are expected to gather in Melrose to experience the excitement of the world’s oldest rugby sevens tournament.
The Melrose Rugby Sevens Squad will proudly wear their new Cairnhill-sponsored strip throughout the King of the Sevens circuit leading up to the Melrose Sevens, further promoting the partnership with Cairnhill at events across Scotland.
Phil Morris, Tournament Director of the Howden Melrose Sevens, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating:
“We are thrilled to welcome Cairnhill back as both the grandstand sponsor and the front of shirt sponsor for the Melrose Rugby Sevens Squad. Their commitment to quality and strong presence in Scotland make them a perfect fit for our tournament. We look forward to showcasing their brand on the grand stage of the 2025 Howden Melrose Sevens.”
Neil Watson, Chief Executive of Cairnhill, commented:
“Doddie Weir was with us for the photo shoot last time Cairnhill sponsored the event, and it was a beautiful sunny day in the Borders. But just as we all stepped foot on the pitch, it started to snow, and everyone had to scurry inside to finish the pictures in the dressing room. We had a good laugh together about that, and I am sorry that Doddie isn’t here to enjoy this time. We all know how much the Melrose Sevens meant to him. It is a very special tournament with so much history, and Cairnhill are delighted to be back again to support the world-famous event.”
The partnership between Cairnhill and the Howden Melrose Sevens reflects the shared values of community, excellence, and passion for the sport.
