Team Bath netballers join forces with Carter Jonas
Team Bath netballers joined Carter Jonas staff at their city centre office to mark the Bath property consultants¹ role as the Superleague team¹s official Property Partner.
Carter Jonas became backers of Britain¹s most successful Superleague team during the 2013 season, when Team Bath won their fifth Superleague title from just eight campaigns.
The deal runs through the 2014 season, when the team will be looking to add a sixth title to their already impressive collection.
Carter Jonas¹ distinctive logo will be displayed prominently on the team¹s playing dresses and training tops throughout their forthcoming campaign.
Team Bath players and members of the coaching staff visited Carter Jonas¹ Wood Street offices in the heart of Bath to meet and chat informally to staff.
Philip Marshall, partner and head of Carter Jonas¹ Bath office said: ³We are delighted to have the opportunity to support the hugely talented Team Bath Netball squad. Their successes are impressive and their structure supports all levels from grass roots upwards. We are fortunate to have this exciting sport represented in Bath at such a high level and accessible to all within the outstanding facilities at the University of Bath.²
Jess Thirlby, Team Bath¹s head netball coach, said: ³It was great to have the opportunity to meet Carter Jonas staff and visit their office.
³We¹re excited to have Carter Jonas as one of our backers and we¹re extremely grateful for their continuing support,² she added. ³We¹re proud of the association with Carter Jonas and we¹re looking forward to further developing our partnership as we move towards what we hope will be a successful 2014 Superleague campaign.²
The group of players visiting Carter Jonas¹ offices included four members of the England team that recently secured a three-nil series whitewash over South Africa in an international test series, including a 49-38 win in the opening fixture at the University of Bath.
They were England captain and shooter Pamela Cookey, defender Stacey Francis and midcourters Serena Guthrie and Mia Ritchie.
Cookey said: ³It was lovely to meet the Carter Jonas staff and to thank them for their support. We¹re delighted that Team Bath have Carter Jonas behind us going into the new Superleague season.²
Team Bath claimed their fifth Superleague title in May with a 62-56 win over Celtic Dragons at the grand final in Worcester.
The 2014 Superleague is due to get underway in late January. Keep an eye on the Team Bath website at www.teambath.com <http://www.teambath.com/> for fixture details.
