Scottish clothing brand Glenmuir will extend its association with The Ryder Cup having signed on as the lead vendor at the Celtic Manor resort during next year's tournament.

As well as being a preferred supplier to the 2010 European Ryder Cup Team, Glenmuir’s status as lead vendor will give them a dominant presence in The Ryder Cup Merchandising Pavilion at Celtic Manor.

Colin Mee, Glenmuir managing director, said: “Becoming the lead vendor at The Ryder Cup positions Glenmuir at the heart of one of the world’s greatest sporting occasions. The Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor next October will be a true spectacle of golf and we are delighted to be continuing and expanding our support of this iconic event.

Richard Hills, Europe’s Ryder Cup director, said: “We are delighted to further strengthen our partnership with Glenmuir, whose expertise and high levels of excellence are a perfect fit for The European Ryder Cup Team. Spectators at Celtic Manor will now have a great opportunity to sample that excellence for themselves, with Glenmuir having the major presence in the Merchandising Pavilion at Celtic Manor.”
