Andy Murray to become new face of Walker's Shortbread
SCOTTISH tennis legend Andy Murray has become the new face of one of the country’s most famous brands.The three-time Grand Slam champion has been announced as the first brand ambassador for Walker’s Shortbread.
The company has posted pictures on Instagram of him holding a tartan tennis ball with the brand logo on it while out on a clay court.
Murray said: “I am proudly Scottish, and partnering with Walker’s, a brand that has been representing Scotland around the world for well over a century, felt like a great fit for me.
“I come from a small tight-knit community and when I look back at where I have come from, I am proud of what I’ve achieved, which is something I share with Walker’s.
“It’s a real honour to be part of this next chapter for such a well-loved Scottish brand.
“I’ve been eating shortbread since I was a kid – my gran would make it all the time for us. We even celebrated my Wimbledon win with shortbread.
“No matter where I am in the world, a piece of Walker’s Shortbread always transports me back home.”
The company said it is “incredibly excited to welcome Andy Murray to the Walkers’ shortbread family”, with bosses saying his journey from a small town in Scotland “mirrors our own”.
