Kenn Moritz, the president of Stonewood Capital, has made a significant investment in the Cornish Pirates, a second-tier rugby club in Cornwall, England. This decision was sparked by an article he read in the Guardian about the club's search for investment. Moritz, along with fellow investor John H Tippins, has acquired a 'strong minority interest' in the Pirates, pledging an initial seven-figure investment aimed at revitalizing the club. They plan to enhance stadium facilities and discuss the establishment of a women's team and an academy. Moritz believes that English rugby is a 'sleeping giant' with immense growth potential, especially with the 2031 Rugby World Cup set to take place in the United States. The Pirates' chief executive, Sally Pettipher, shares this vision, emphasizing the club's ambition to reach the Premiership level within five years. With a loyal fan base in Cornwall and no significant historical debt, the Pirates are poised for an exciting future.
