Ironman UK & Ireland has decided to use Always Advancing for its finisher medals for the 2012 season. The partnership, which will begin with Ironman 70.3 UK in June, will encompass four events in the United Kingdom, Wales and Ireland.
The Ironman UK and Ireland team recently released a statement about the partnership:
‘We are excited about the new partnership and look forward to launching our full range of new medals for 2012. The new designs are really unique and we are confident that they will be well received by our athletes, offering them a great memento of their race.’
This latest detal marks another opportunity for Always Advancing to showcase its products internationally. With additional events in the UK, Australia, Israel, Italy, Africa and Canada – Always Advancing continues to solidify its place in the international endurance event market.
Chris Seiler of Always Advancing said, “We are looking forward to providing the Ironman UK and Ireland events with a level of service that will transcend providing medals. Our goal is to grow with these events and continue to build on our success in the international market, while simultaneously growing our presences in the United States.
