Sponsorship keeps Katie on target for Tokyo 2020!

Goring-based trade-in website Ziffit has today announced it is sponsoring employee and athlete, Katie Gleeson, on her journey to Tokyo 2020. Katie is the current British Women’s Rifle Shooting Champion and is part of Backing the Best, a Sports Aid and Sports England initiative for the next generation of elite athletes.

In May this year Katie competed in the ISSF World Cup in Munich and will compete in the Commonwealth Shooting Federation championships this September. She plans to put Ziffit’s sponsorship money towards a vital piece of equipment for training – a new precision .22 calibre rifle. The sponsorship money will also help fund her trips to major World Cup and European Championship competitions in 2017.

Paul Treanor, eCommerce director at Ziffit said: “We’re thrilled to support Katie in her sport and help make her Tokyo Olympic dream a reality. She’s a diligent and valued employee with exceptional talent and it’s great we can be a part of her sporting journey. We like to support our staff with their out of work pursuits as well as their day jobs.”

Katie Gleeson, added: “I’m delighted Ziffit has decided to sponsor me to help me improve in my sport. The company’s sponsorship helped me buy the equipment I need and will allow me to compete in more International championships, which is the perfect opportunity to train for the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.”
