Trethowans Sponsors Southampton’s Young Sporting Talent

May 18, 2010 - PRLog -- Southampton Solicitors Trethowans has continued its commitment to support the development of sport locally with ongoing sponsorship and support for two Southampton based sports.

Firstly, in the run up to the London Olympics in 2012 Trethowans are sponsoring a young sporting individual who is working towards Olympic selection in 2012.

Sixteen year old Max Brick is a member of Southampton Diving Academy, based at The Quays Swimming and Diving Complex.  He made his first appearance for Great Britain in Germany in 2004.  

Max and his syncro partner are the British Men’s Senior Champions in the 10 metre syncro event. Max is ranked 3rd in the British Men’s Senior 10 metre individual event in 2009. Last summer, Max completed in the World Championships in Rome where he partnered gold Medal winner Tom Daley in the Men's Synchro 10M diving event.  

Max is now working hard towards his aim to win a medal at the London 2012 Olympics.

Commenting on this sponsorship, Simon Rhodes, Managing Partner at Trethowans said; “Our commitment to Max and is part of our commitment to help develop and support local individuals and talent. We are delighted to be able to make a direct contribution to help Max and his dream of winning an Olympic medal.  Max is an extremely talented and focused young athlete who has every chance of achieving his dream.  He is already ranked 3rd in the UK individually and first in the Synchro event. We wish him every success and we will be cheering him on all the way.”

Secondly, Trethowans are renewing their sponsorship of the Law Society netball team at the University of Southampton.

2009/2010 has been an extremely successful season for the Law Society Netball Team. Under the Presidency of Rebecca Clarke and the Captaincy of Petro Norval the club has grown with the recruitment of a number of new members resulting in a regular squad of about 25 players.
This has resulted in the successful creation of two successful Law Society Netball Teams who have each secured a top four position in the league.  In addition, the A Team have secured their place in the final of the University intramural netball league.

Commenting, President of the Law Society Netball Club Rebecca Clarke said; “Continued sponsorship from Trethowans has enabled the teams to complete their kit with new skirts as well as t-shirts for the newcomers; all of which has contributed to team spirit and a sense of unity amongst players. Training sessions have also been improved through the purchase of several netballs and other equipment which has added variety and fun to proceedings.  This would not have been possible without Trethowans' continued support, so once again, many thanks!”

The sponsorship of the new kit by Trethowans is part of providing the team with better kit and equipment to help them work towards winning the trophy at the end of the season in June.

Nicola Richards, Human Resources Partner at Trethowans commented: “We already have links with the University of Southampton’s Law School through their annual mooting competition and their law careers fair. The sponsorship enables us to strengthen the existing relationship that we have and we were delighted to be able to help.”
