Pentathlon GB signs a two year support agreement
with Avon Valley Precision Engineering to get a technological enhancement ahead
of Rio Olympics 2016. The two worlds of engineering and sports will work
together in this new relationship to harbour quality and attention in both
planning and management following national body has signed similar commercial
contracts like with swimwear product blueseventy. The experience of AVPE spans
over 20 years working in aerospace and defence aiming to invest in people and
the best practice. They hope to develop Pentathletes across Britain with this
Philosophy. Pentathlon GB’s chief executive Nigel Laughton said they are happy
AVPE has decided to sponsor Pentathlon GB which will boost the preparations for
next year’s Olympics.
He noted
their podium potential athletes are facing a tough year ahead to be selected
for Olympics and AVPE’s sponsorship has come just at the right moment because
the European Championship is taking place at home in August. Pentathlon GB will
concentrate to extend their record of winning a female medal for example
Stephanie Cooke’s gold at Sydney 2000, Heather Fell and Samantha Murray’s
silver at Beijing 2008 and London 2012 respectively and bronzes for Kate
Allenby at Sydney 2000 and for Georgina Harland at Athens 2004. AVPE managing
director Mark Summers added they are happy to work with the best pentathletes
of the world and it is astonishing for them to see how these athletes find time
for training for five different games.
