Invictus invests in young champions
Telephony specialist Invictus Communications has pledged support for up and coming sporting champions by sponsoring the Derbyshire Institute of Sport. The Derby-based Chamber member is the latest company to join the
growing list of sponsors for the unique organisation, whose goal is to inspire and support Derbyshire athletes to realise their Olympic and Paralympic dreams. Since the Institute was formed in 2012, it has supported more than 150 athletes and para-athletes including tennis star Jay Clarke and swimmers Molly Renshaw and Lewis White. There are currently 32 young athletes in the programme, including members of the world-beating Team HUUB Wattbike track cycling team, which is also sponsored by Invictus Communications. Its Managing Director, Jonny McPhee, said: “Our ethos as a company is
to buy local, sell local and support local. We like to think we are at the top of our game, so Derbyshire Institute of Sport’s mission to help young people aspire to the international medal podiums is a perfect fit with us. “I am particularly keen to help the programme engage with more
potential athletes from a younger age and to champion this county as a centre of excellence in both business and sport.” Derbyshire Institute of Sport’s Head of Operations, Chloe Maudsley,
added: “Set up as Derbyshire’s legacy programme following the London Olympic Games, our aim has been to create a systematic model, leaving
less to chance and giving our athletes the best possible chance of achieving their Olympic and Paralympic dreams. “We receive no Government funding so our supporters and sponsors such as Invictus Communications are crucial to our existence.”
