HUUB has agreed what it describes as a “ground breaking partnership” with Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee (pictured).
As a result, the wetsuit and swimskins company will supply its equipment to Olympic triathlon champion Alistair and his bronze medal winning and world champion brother Jonathan just 16 months after it began trading in 2011.
“As a young company based in the Midlands, we feel honoured and privileged to be associated with Alistair and Jonathan,” says HUUB CEO Dean Jackson.
“We’ve always been very confident in our research and in the science we adopt and the revolutionary product we’ve produced enabled us to spring forward in partnership with investors who shared our vision for both the company and the product itself.”
Jackson says that for HUUB to be standing shoulder to shoulder with Olympic medallists – and one of them an Olympic champion – is unbelievable: “In our short existence we’ve been working flat out to prove our technology and beliefs do work at the highest level of competition and there could be no better illustration of that than being able to put two world class athletes into our suits and see them put to excellent use all over the world.
“To say I’m delighted with this partnership would be an understatement. This is an incredibly proud day for all of us.”
