Tigers directors and management welcomed sponsors to the event in the superb surrounds of the country house hotel.
Welcoming the sponsors, Tigers executive chairman Peter Tom CBE remarked on how the growth of professional rugby and the success of the club had been reflected in the strength of its relationships with major national and international brands.
