Introducing Harlequins
Harlequins has a proud and enviable history with a timeline very similar to the Philips brand. Established in 1866, just 25 years before Philips was formed, the iconic Rugby Union club was born as Hampstead Football Club and renamed to Harlequins in 1870.
Pioneering in their field, Harlequins has helped to shape the growth of the game, as one of the Founding Members of the Rugby Football Union (RFU) in 1871.
Also sharing our values as a progressive, human, versatile and creative company, Harlequins presents a true community ethos that the teams at PPDS are proud to be a part of.
About The Stoop
With a capacity of 14,800, Twickenham Stoop stadium has been home to the Harlequins since 1963. The ground was named after Adrian Stoop, who played 182 times for Harlequins between 1901 and 1939. He was President of Harlequins from 1920 to 1949, won 15 caps for England and is said to have been the person who helped lead the development of attacking backs play.
From high impact, high bright welcoming signage at the entrance gates and through the brand-new North Village fan zone, menu boards skirting around the stadium, engaging showcases in the hospitality suites, lounges and boxes, all the way through to player information displays in the changing rooms and training areas, the Stoop is also home to the full portfolio of Philips professional displays.
