After playing a pivotal role in the return of football, Prenetics gives Hickstead a helping hand


A company that has carried out


more than 3 million PCR tests globally since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic has come on board as the title sponsor of the Royal International Horse Show for 2021. Prenetics, a leading genetics and


diagnostic health testing company, played an important part in bringing back Premier League football, carrying out the full testing across 20 clubs. They are now supporting a major equestrian event for the first time as the sponsors of the Prenetics Royal International Horse Show at Hickstead (20-25 July). “It’s been a difficult year for so


many, so it’s a relief to be getting back to some sense of normality,” says Hick- stead Director Lizzie Bunn. “This will be our first international show since the pandemic, though because of the ongo- ing situation we will be running the event as a two-star competition in place of the usual five-star. We’re incredibly grateful to Prenetics for adding their generous support and experience to this fixture.” Avi Lasarow, CEO of Prenetics


UK and Europe, Middle East and Africa, adds: “Prenetics has played a pivotal role in getting Britain back to work, play and travel, and accepting the title spon- sorship of this major UK sporting event is a privilege. We wish all the competi- tors of the Prenetics Royal International Horse Show the best of luck, as we see
