Our partnerships

Our cricket partnership

We are proud sponsors of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and have been since 2014.

This quirky, quintessentially British game is one of the most popular sports on the planet, linking grassroots communities in a common love of the game and it’s values. Integrity, individuality and a spot of eccentricity are important to Royal London too, which is why we’re proud to help the ECB bring one-day cricket to players and fans at an international and domestic level.

Our extended two-year deal covering 2018/19 season makes us title sponsors of England’s one-day internationals for both men and women, the Royal London One-Day Cup and the Royal London Club Championship. Helping to support the development of the fifty-over game nationwide from a local community level through to international.

Our pelican partnership

Given our affinity for our own pelican, Gilbert, it seemed only fitting that we should get involved with a pelican colony in the UK. Pelicans have served as a heraldic symbol of generosity for centuries and have a royal past. Pelicans represent the role of 'provider', and have been a symbol of generosity for centuries. This, along with their royal connection, makes them the perfect partner for Royal London.

Royal Zoological Society of Scotland

In keeping with our penchant for pelicans, we’ve also partnered with the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) to look after the colony in Edinburgh Zoo.

This partnership helps to fund the society’s conservation work for the Eastern White, the second largest species of the eight pelican in the world. You can visit the Eastern White Pelican walkthrough exhibit and view the resident flock up close, while learning about the work being done on population studies alongside other projects to help secure natural habitats which are currently suffering from environmental issues such as over-fishing and flooding.

Psst! Heading to the Eastern White Pelican Walkthrough? Aim to pay the pelicans a visit around mid-morning or mid-afternoon to see them up close during feeding.
