We wish him the very best for the future."* Dominic McKay, Chair, PRO14 *“The last four years as chief commercial officer at the Guinness PRO14 have been a genuine privilege and the most rewarding of my career. After 3 Finals, a hugely successful TV cycle and working with some of the best brands in the business, I feel it’s time to hand the baton on. I’d like to thank all the great partners I’ve had the pleasure with over recent years and wish all at the Guinness PRO14 the best in the exciting time for global professional club rugby”* Dermot Rigley
