The company has struck a fun ‘Pounds for Points’ charity sponsorship with Brand Ambassador and World Number 1 table tennis champion Will Bayley MBE ahead of his participation in the Paris 2024 Summer Paralympic Games.
The novel sponsorship will see Will earn money for a charity of his choice as the whole team at MERKUR UK get behind the former Strictly Come Dancing star as he attempts to serve, spin and slam his way to Gold.
Will, who described MERKUR UK’s support as being invaluable in assisting his preparations for the Summer Games, said: “I’ve been blown away by the positive community work undertaken by the team at MERKUR UK and the ‘Pounds for Points’ initiative is just another example of bringing some fun into fund raising.
“I can’t wait for the Games to get underway and obviously the further I go the more I will raise!”
MERKUR UK General Manager Sascha Blodau added: “From the very start of our relationship Will has shown a genuine interest in MERKUR UK, in our people and in the work that we do in the communities that we serve.
“Will has addressed our Venue Managers Conference with his inspirational life story, made charity presentations on our behalf at industry events and also advised on our SR 360 Program.
“The icing on the cake will be winning Gold in Paris and on behalf of everyone in the MERKUR UK family I would like to wish him all the very best!”
