New sponsors for Team Mouat

THE Scottish men’s Olympic curling team has kick-started the winter competition series in Canada by unveiling its new official kit.

It is the result of a sponsorship deal with Scotch malt whisky cream liqueur brand Magnum.

Grant Hardie from Dumfries and Stranraer’s Hammy McMillan and Bobby Lammie were part of the team that took home the silver medal at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing.

With support from Magnum Cream Liqueur, Grant, Hammy and Bobby now have their sights set on rising to the top of the curling world in Canada this winter and spring 2023 by competing in Grand Slam of Curling Tour Challenge, Grand Prairie; Grand Slam of Curling Masters, Oakville; Grand Slam of Curling Canadian Open, Camrose; and Grand Slam of Curling Player Championships, Toronto.

The curlers will be proudly wearing their new navy, white and gold shirts during every official match in Canada.

Depending on selection, it is hoped that Team Mouat will go on to compete in the World Curling Championships in Canada in April.

Commenting on the new partnership with Magnum Scotch Malt Whisky Cream Liqueur, Hammy said: “Being a Scottish curling team that spends half the winter competing in Canada, our new brand partnership with Magnum felt like the perfect fit.

“Magnum is an Edinburgh-based Scottish brand, but one of its biggest export markets is Canada. We as a team had been looking for a Scottish-Canadian link and we think we’ve found that with Magnum.

“We’re really looking forward to seeing our partnership flourish over the winter into spring next year.”

Magnum director Lee Schofield added: “We’re really proud to be the official premium brand sponsor of the Scottish men’s Olympic curling team, who are an amazing group of guys.

“We wish Team Mouat every success in Canada this winter and are confident they’ll do Scotland proud.”
