The firm’s track record of supporting charity in Glasgow and beyond has seen it help raise more than £350,000 over the last decade. In 2016, it is fundraising for Beatson Cancer Charity and Venture Scotland Trust.

Managing director and founder Douglas McCrea said: “We are proud to have reached this significant milestone in our support of sport in the city of Glasgow.

“We have been fortunate to have had great success as a business and so it has always been important for us to share that across charity and sport.”

Townsend added: “McCrea Financial Services have been a proactive and engaging sponsor with Warriors for many years. Like us, they’re passionate about Glasgow as a city and the benefits that sport brings to a community and we look forward to their support again this season.”
