Announcements

Yorkshire is famous for its successful Olympians and as a company with strong links to the county, we’re incredibly proud of our local athletes. In fact, if Yorkshire were a country, it would have finished 17th in the medals table, ahead of Canada and South Africa among others.

Two of the county’s most successful Olympians are the Brownlee brothers, Alistair and Jonathan, who won gold and silver respectively in the gruelling triathlon event in Rio, four years after taking gold and bronze in London.

We were very proud to welcome them back from Rio at Leeds Bradford Airport recently and here they are pictured with some of our team.
