Gloucester Rugby Announce St Quinton as Sole Owner

Professional English rugby union club Gloucester Rugby has confirmed that Martin St Quinton is the new 100% owner of the club with immediate effect. Mr St Quinton, who first acquired a 25% share in the club in October 2008 before subsequently increasing his shareholding, has purchased all the shares held by the Walkinshaw family and now has sole ownership of the club.
 The announcement, which comes with the club still in the hunt for a top six finish in the Aviva Premiership and in the quarter-finals in its defence of the European Rugby Challenge Cup, brings to an end a period of uncertainty.

The news that Mr St Quinton, previously the club's Vice-Chairman, has increased his shareholding to assume overall control of the club, will ensure welcome continuity in terms of the management of the club.
