A Weston based marketing, media and technology company has announced it will be sponsoring an Olympic hopeful in 2023.

The Ascot Group will be supporting Judo star Lele Nairne as part of their ongoing commitment to giving back to the local community.
 
“I’m delighted to announce that we will be sponsoring and financially backing Lele’s training and worldwide competitions throughout the year," Andrew Scott, CEO and founder of the Ascot Group said.

 “Lele is a fantastic athlete who has trained in Judo for most of her life. She has already ranked 23rd in the world and now has her sights firmly set on the 2024 Paris Olympics.

"Lele is someone we can really get behind and be incredibly proud of. Her drive and passion for Judo is inspirational, it’s clear that she lives and breathes everything associated with the sport.

 “I can’t wait for the whole Ascot team to show its support for Lele as she embarks on this exciting journey to Olympic success.”

Nairne added: “It’s amazing to have one of Weston’s biggest employers agree to be a sponsor. I’ve got some really exciting things in the pipeline for the next 12 months and with the support from Andrew and his team, I’ll be a step closer to achieving my goals.”
