The Power of Connection: Building Bridges in Sport and Business

7 Apr 2025

Don’t miss out on the latest Edinburgh Rugby Business Club event – The Power of Connection – held at Greyfriars Hall on the evening of Tuesday 22 April, 6.30pm-9pm.

Join us for an evening of insight and meaningful conversation as we explore how trust and open communication fuel success, on the field and in the workplace.

You’ll hear personal stories from Edinburgh Rugby stars Pierre Schoeman, Ewan Ashman, and Paul Hill on how they’ve built trust, stayed connected, and strengthened team culture through communication.

We’ll also be joined by Laurie Black (Co-founder, Bevvy) and Luuk van Dieten (Support & Success Manager, Bundeling), who’ll share how technology is transforming connection in business.

Laurie will discuss how Bevvy, a specialised whisky tech platform, is helping foster stronger relationships across the industry, while Luuk will explore how communication platforms like Bundeling are helping businesses align, engage, and develop more cohesive teams.

Whether it’s on the rugby pitch or in the boardroom, communication is the foundation of any successful team.

This engaging panel will dive into how athletes and business leaders create genuine connections, support one another through challenges, and build environments where collaboration thrives.

To cap off the evening, enjoy a guided whisky tasting with Laurie Black and Ross Barr (Whisky Specialist – Bevvy), featuring standout drams and the stories behind them.

Whether your part of a team, leading one, or growing your professional network, this event is your chance to explore how real connection can move you, and your work, forward.

Book your place today and join us for The Power of Connection!
