MINI is proud to be an official partner of Team GB and ParalympicsGB on their journey to London 2012. MINI is now getting right behind British athletes, via our Performance Team. MINI dealers like us will be pairing up with local athletes, supporting their endeavours to qualify for Team GB or ParalympicsGB.
David started athletics at school, and trained at Scunthorpe Athletics club. He made a breakthrough in 2003 when he made his Great British debut at the European U20 Championships. He then went on to victory at the European U23 Championships in 2005. David also achieved seventh place at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.
“This is just so great,” said David. “ can’t thank Astle and MINI enough. I spend a lot of time driving to and from training sessions and driving to events ahead of London 2012 so having a brand new car is amazing. Suddenly, I’m the envy of all my friends!”
“We’re really pleased to be backing David,” said Mike Baldry, Managing Director at Astle. “Attempting to qualify for the London 2012 Games can’t be easy so we’re more than happy to help in any way we can. It’s also a great opportunity for everyone connected with the dealership to get more involved with the 2012 Games."
