Ap Mccoy Joins Randox Health

Randox Health, the new sponsor of the Grand National has unveiled 20-time Champion jump jockey Sir Anthony McCoy as its brand ambassador.

The Northern Ireland-based company is also a partner sponsor for The Jockey Club, which own Aintree Racecourse and Haydock Park as well as other tracks in the United Kingdom.

The three-year long deal was negotiated with Lloyd Burns Management.

The diagnostics company, the new sponsor of the Grand National and The Jockey Club, is opening healthcare clinics across the UK, Ireland, US and Middle East.

The company has also worked for over 20 years with the equine industry in delivering products to ensure the health and well-being of endurance racehorses and has worked with the Irish Equine Centre and 15-times National Hunt champion trainer and McCoy’s old boss Martin Pipe.

AP McCoy commented: “My days of competitive horse racing might be behind me, but I’ve no intention of slowing down. I always try and enjoy life to the full, and staying healthy is key to that. You’re happiest when you’re healthy, and that’s why I’m delighted to be an ambassador for Randox Health. They’re leading the field in preventive healthcare and can give you an entire breakdown on not only how healthy you are now, but also on future risks and how best to maintain your health.”

Randox founder Dr Peter FitzGerald added: “AP McCoy didn’t leave any aspect of his racing career to guesswork and he is making sure the next stage of his life is no different. He is recognised around the world as an incredible sportsman who pushed his body to its limits during his career. I am delighted now that he is working with Randox Health to ensure not only that he stays healthy, but that his fans do too.

“Our goal is to transform global healthcare – it’s not enough to achieve long life on its own, we must strive for long health too. Given the choice, few people will leave that to chance. By joining forces with the world’s most popular jockey and the world’s most popular horserace, we believe we can share that message and improve people’s health across the world.”
