British gymnastics hits the dancefloor with J T Hughes Honda
A Shropshire-based car dealership has affirmed its commitment to supporting British Gymnastics by supplying a number of the team’s rising stars with brand new Hondas, including Strictly Come Dancing sensation #claudiafragapane.
J T Hughes #honda, which has sites in Newtown, Shrewsbury and Telford, has been the official fleet partner of British Gymnastics since 2009. The most recent contract, signed earlier this year, has seen the dealership supply more than 40 cars for members of the British Gymnastics team, including all-round champions #claudiafragapane and Dan Purvis, and British champion trampoline stars Bryony Page and Luke Strong.
Fragapane, since returning from the summer Olympics in Rio, has been a regular on TV screens across the country as part of BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing. At just 18 years old, Fragapane is this year’s youngest contestant, having already picked up four Gold Commonwealth medals, and three successive European Silver medals, the Glitter Ball trophy looks likely to be the next addition to Claudia’s mantelpiece.
Dan Bowdler, sales manager of J T Hughes, said: “It’s a huge honour to be the official fleet partner of British Gymnastics. The sport is enjoying a real golden era in Britain at the moment, so it’s exciting for us to be able to play a small role in supporting that. We are immensely proud of the team’s performance in Rio and hope to continue to support them in their endeavours, both in and out of the gym.”
Claire Jackson, head of marketing and communications at British Gymnastics, commented: “We’re delighted with our athlete relationship with JT Hughes. By supplying brand new #honda Civics to a number of British Champions, it has supported our gymnasts’ Olympic journey and continues to support their ongoing training and engagements. They enjoy the prestige of driving these enviable cars as well as the customer service which JT Hughes provides.”
