CIMA and England Touch have announced the renewal of their partnership, reinforcing their shared commitment to develop future leaders through the power of sport and business.
This renewed three-year agreement will spotlight the strong parallels between sport and business—teamwork, communication, resilience, and strategic thinking— while elevating Touch Rugby as a sport of choice across UK universities.
By combining England Touch’s inclusive, high-energy sporting platform with CIMA’s global expertise in business and finance education, the partnership will create new opportunities for students to grow both on and off the pitch.
“This partnership goes beyond sport,” said Claire du Rose, Lead Manager – UKStudent Recruitment at CIMA. “It’s about empowering students with the skills, confidence, and collaborative mindset they need to succeed in today’s workplace. Touch Rugby is fast-paced, inclusive—especially as a mixed team sport—and mirrors the dynamics of modern professional environments. We’re excited to partner with England Touch to bring this enriching experience to students across the UK.”
