2008 Rugby Correspondent of the Year

Here is what Mick Cleary had to say about the 2008 awards:

"The Rugby Business Awards were a success story. It's not easy to draw people from all different strands but that was certainly the feel of the two day congress in London. The Awards themselves were varied and well-considered. Needless to say, they were celebrated long into the night. I think it's important that rugby addresses a cross-section of the market not just its traditional constituency. There are a lot of people working in the industry, and a lot of different types either involved in it or associated with it. The Awards reach out to a new marketplace."
