GB Taekwondo Teams Up With Castore

GB Taekwondo has teamed up with UK-based sportswear brand Castore for a deal that will extend beyond the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The four-year partnership follows multiple recent high-profile agreements that Castore has secured across several sports.

The company’s clients now include Premier League clubs Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle United, the McLaren F1 team and England Cricket, as well as the likes of Cricket South Africa and the Samoa Rugby Union.

“Partnering with a brand that is so committed to making technically excellent garments was non-negotiable,” GB Taekwondo Chief Executive Matt Archibald said.

“Couple that with the energy, passion and ambition we have seen from the Manchester-based founders and their leadership team, and we see a great fit with the organisations.

“I was really impressed when I met Castore Co-Founder, Tom Beahon, at their Manchester headquarters. He showed great interest in Olympic and Paralympic sport and is committed to supporting our athletes with their Paris 2024 campaigns.”

The deal has been announced after an exciting year for GB Taekwondo, which featured five medals at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Beahon added, “We were impressed by the passion, drive and commitment of GB Taekwondo and their athletes when sampling the garments which aligns perfectly with our Better Never Stops ethos. It is no surprise that GB Taekwondo continue to achieve success at major competitions by striving for marginal gains and improvements.

“The next cycle of activity for GB Taekwondo is one which excites us, and we look forward to both organisations continuing to deliver high performance and technical excellence over the coming years.”
