The Cornwall Rugby Football Union (CRFU) has announced that Tanya Thomas, the driving
force behind the union’s commercial and sponsorship success, is standing down from her
role.
Since joining the team in December 2023 as the CRFU’s first Commercial Lead , Tanya has
been a key figure in modernizing the CRFU’s commercial approach and strengthening its
ties to the local community.
Tanya stepped into the role with a vision to revitalize how the CRFU engaged with partners.
From securing vital sponsorships to meticulously arranging high-profile events, she ensured
that the “Black and Gold” remained a prestigious brand for local and national businesses
alike.
Her ability to think outside the box allowed the union to navigate a changing financial
landscape, ensuring that rugby in the county remained well-supported at every level.
Tanya’s passion for the game and the unique culture of the sport in Cornwall ensured the
CRFU’s heritage was acknowledged while moving toward a sustainable future.
The CRFU extends its thanks to Tanya for her service. We wish her the very best of luck and
every success in her future career.
The CRFU will be advertising this role in the next few days and would encourage suitable
candidates to apply
