Some deals are announced the moment the ink dries. This one has been quietly taking shape since the summer.

Who are James Hallam?

The firm was founded in 1982 and is a privately owned, independent specialist broker. It has offices in Cornwall, including one in Penzance.

“Great excitement and enthusiasm”

Ross Hancock, Head of Commercial and Communications at the Cornish Pirates, said the two sides had been working together for months before the news went public.

“I’m delighted to finally announce this new partnership,” said Ross. “We’ve been working alongside the team since the summer, who have showed great excitement and enthusiasm about what is going on here at the moment and being a part of our future.”

“With our ever expanding network, having a specialist service like theirs is not only beneficial to us, but hopefully to everyone as well.”
