Gullivers Sports Travel is pleased to announce that ex-England Sevens captain and 2009 IRB International Player of the Year, Ollie Phillips, is now on board as their Sevens Ambassador.

Ollie Phillips played for England Sevens for 10 years - three of those as Captain - as well playing for Premiership side Newcastle Falcons, and French Top 14 side, Stade Francais.  Off the field, he has circumnavigated the globe with Clipper, trekked to the North Pole to play rugby to raise money for children’s charities, and he is also a pundit with Sky.

Phillips said:

“I have really enjoyed getting out on tour with Gullivers over the last year, and am proud to now formalise our relationship. Gullivers is a company close to my heart – they are the best in the sports travel business and it’s especially great to see them support the sevens format of the game, giving rugby fans the opportunity to go to Hong Kong, Las Vegas, Vancouver, Cape Town, Paris, Singapore and Dubai”.

Gullivers’ Managing Director, Sam Seward, said:

“Ollie has been incredibly popular with our clients over the past year, and we’re pleased to have him on board for the next three years as our Sevens Ambassador. Ollie has achieved a lot on and off the field and we look forward to having him out on tour with us – our clients can expect plenty of stories and camaraderie at our events with him at the helm!”
