Custom Composites and Team GB hoping to add to Olympic medal haul

Custom Composites is to sponsor Olympic hopefuls Team Lloyd Williams-Alloway

Custom Composites, part of the Attwater Group, is to sponsor Olympic hopefuls Team Lloyd Williams-Alloway, continuing a relationship with Team GB sailors that has resulted in gold medals in each of the two last summer games.

The tube company will support the British sailors through Tokyo 2020 Olympics qualifiers, through to their bid to top the podium at the games.

Custom Composites has backed Team GB in previous games, producing tiller extensions which helped Sir Ben Ainslie score gold in both 2008 and 2012.

“In early 2016 we set out to find a high quality carbon fibre specialist for our 2020 Olympic campaign. We are thrilled to welcome on board Custom Composites Ltd as our main supplier for carbon fibre equipment,” said Will Alloway.

“After several R&D sessions and prototypes, we have created what we believe to be the ultimate tiller extension in terms of weight, stiffness and grip.”

Custom Composites general manager Andy States said the company had worked together with the team to build and perfect equipment for the games.

“Having considerable experience manufacturing carbon fibre tiller extensions, we were confident that we could work with Will & Henry to help refine and improve our existing product for them and get it to a point where they felt it could be improved no further,” he said. “I am proud to say that we have now achieved that goal.”
