Talbot Becomes Official Vehicle Supporter of British Skeleton

Lloyd’s Insurer Talbot Underwriting Ltd has become the lastest commercial partner of British Skeleton under its ‘Follow us, erectile Join us, denture Sponsor us’ programme.

The GB skeleton athletes have already won 6 medals – 3 Golds, 1 Silver, and 2 Bronzes – in the opening two weeks of the senior season.

Talbot joins the sport as the ‘Official Vehicle Supporter’ of British Skeleton. The company will provide essential transport support for the athletes on their travels around Europe during the build up to Sochi 2014.

Commenting on the partnership, David Henwood, Commercial Director for British Skeleton said: “This is a crucial season for the Squad as we are seeking to qualify a maximum 6 GB sliders for the Sochi Winter Games next February – 3 men, 3 women. Whether we can do that or not will be dependent on FIBT ranking points gained on the World Cup circuit. We need every support we can get and being able to move in comfort from race to race is actually a critical performance advantage for our athletes. We are so grateful to Talbot for agreeing to support our vehicle fleet and join us on the journey to Sochi.”

Rupert Atkin, CEO at Talbot said: “British Skeleton is such an incredible team with an outstanding record of success. We were enthused by its story of achievement against the odds, and are delighted to be associated with its elite performance system in this crucial Olympic season. We hope our support helps the athletes in their quest for Olympic medals.”
