ne of the stars of the 2003 England Rugby World Cup winning side will be taking to the stage as this year’s BMJ Industry Awards host. A familiar face and voice from ITV’s rugby TV coverage, Lawrence Dallaglio OBE is a true icon of British sport, and one of the most outstanding and compelling figures in England Rugby history. Regarded as one of the world’s greatest ever back-row forwards, he won 22 major trophies for both club and country, ending his career with 85 caps. He won the inaugural Rugby World Cup 7s in 1993, was the only player to play every minute of every match during England’s winning World Cup campaign in Australia in 2003, and was one of only two northern hemisphere players to hold World Cup winners’ medals in both the 7s and 15-man game. He also played on three British and Irish Lions Tours, winning a Test series in South Africa in 1997. A one-club player, Dallaglio enjoyed a stellar career with Wasps from joining in 1990 to his retirement in 2008, captaining the London club to victory in five Premiership titles, three League Cups, and three European trophies. Since retiring from rugby, he has established a number of business and commercial relationships. He launched and sold a sports marketing agency, BBH Sport, delivering strategy, creative, and execution for a variety of clients, including England RWC 2015, LTA, RFU, Samsung, and Adidas. He now delivers and broadcasts across multiple channels, including TNT, ITV, and most recently Premier Sports. Dallaglio was awarded an MBE in 2004 and an OBE in 2008. In addition to his commercial ventures, he undertakes an impressive measure of charity work under the umbrella of his own award-winning charity, Dallaglio RugbyWorks. RugbyWorks is an intensive, long-term skills development programme based on rugby, aiming to help teenagers excluded from mainstream education transition into sustained education, employment, or training.
