Pentland Land Rover, part of the John Clark Motor Group, is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with two international rugby legends and British & Irish Lions icons, Pierre Schoeman and Duhan van der Merwe as our latest brand ambassadors.
This partnership celebrates the natural synergy between rugby and Defender: a vehicle that embodies strength, resilience, and a spirit of embracing the impossible. Defender is deeply connected to the rugby world, and at John Clark Motor Group we share that same drive, putting our clients first, celebrating them with passion, and delivering extraordinary experiences.
With Pierre and Duhan joining the Pentland family, our clients can look forward to exclusive rugby opportunities and uniquely curated events designed to bring them closer to the action while enjoying unforgettable hospitality.
Both Pierre and Duhan bring much more than world-class skill to the field, they embody values that align closely with Pentland Land Rover.
Pierre Schoeman has become a cult hero, known for his larger-than-life personality, iconic mullet, and natural leadership. He represents global spirit, grit, and determination, qualities that reflect our own commitment to pushing boundaries and going further for our clients.
Duhan van der Merwe pairs sheer athletic power with precision, creativity, and flair. His relentless drive and world-class talent mirror the pursuit of excellence we champion across Pentland Land Rover
Together, Pierre and Duhan bring energy, authenticity, and a shared love of connecting with people, qualities that will ensure this partnership creates memorable moments for our clients.
This partnership is about more than names, it’s about
creating opportunities for our clients to enjoy unique access, memorable
experiences, and the infectious spirit that both Pierre and Duhan naturally
bring.
Speaking about the new partnership, Pierre shared:
“I’m deeply honoured to be a part of this partnership with Pentland Land Rover & John Clark Motor Group. This collaboration embodies ambition, honour and purpose. For us, it is not merely about the drive; it is about the journey we can share with the team and Pentland clients”
Duhan captured the spirit of the collaboration, saying:
“I am extremely excited to partner with Pentland Land Rover & John Clark Motor Group. This collaboration speaks to our ambition to push boundaries and I’m excited for the miles we’ll travel side by side and the value we can bring”
Chris Clark, John Clark Motor Group Managing Director added:
“We’re thrilled to welcome Pierre and Duhan as Pentland brand ambassadors. They’re two of the biggest names in rugby, but more importantly, they are engaging, passionate, and bring incredible warmth and energy. This partnership is about putting our clients at the heart of everything we do, while creating fun, memorable, and truly special experiences that only Pentland Land Rover can deliver.”
Beyond the Game
Off the pitch, Pierre and Duhan are co-founders of Hirundine Whisky, an independent brand shaped by a passion for doing things differently. Their philosophy is simple: a quiet focus on craft, authenticity, and the people who enjoy it. We’re excited to share their whisky story with our clients through future experiences that promise to be as distinctive as the brand itself.
