Huub Design Partners With Greg Whyte
Triathlon outfitters HUUB Design has announced a new partnership with former Olympian and physical activity expert, Professor Greg Whyte OBE.
Greg will be working alongside HUUB Design as their swimming and fitness expert. In recent years Greg has applied his sports science background to assist in various celebrity challenges for charity, having trained, motivated and coached 23 Comic and Sport Relief challenges including: two-time Olympic Gold medalist James Cracknell in his run, cycle and swim to Africa and TV presenter Davina McCall, in her ‘Beyond Breaking Point’ 506 mile ultra-marathon.
HUUB stated it had 65% growth in 2016 and will be extending its product offering to include more land based products and training wear, which Greg will be involved in developing.
The partnership will support Greg and his many sporting challenges, including his own ’50@50′ swim project that sees him take on 50 different swims to mark his 50th birthday, which began last Saturday, 21st January.
Dean Jackson founder of HUUB Design said: “I am delighted Greg has joined the HUUB team. He has a wealth of knowledge in sports science, training and serious endurance. I have no doubt he will add a serious amount in scientific product development and we are keen to support him with his personal projects for 2017 and beyond.”
Greg Whyte said: “I am delighted to become part of the HUUB Design team, the preeminent global triathlon outfitter. HUUB has a passion for excellence which aligns with my personal goals making for the perfect performance partnership. Having used HUUB in many of my personal and celebrity challenges I know that HUUB are the best when it comes to triathlon for newcomers and elites alike. I look forward to working with HUUB to continue pushing the boundaries of excellence.”
In 2016 HUUB supported several Paralympians and Olympians, including the Brownlee brothers who won gold and silver at Rio 2016.
