Greg Searle Sponsorship
25 JANUARY 2010 | BY MARTIN RYAN, MANAGING DIRECTOR
Former Olympic Gold medal rower Greg Searle is making a return bid for glory at the London 2012 Olympics - and is being sponsored in his endeavour by CPM.
Greg won a Gold at the Barcelona Olympics on 2 August 1992 and has set his sights on participating in the finals of the London Olympic rowing programme in 2012. CPM has pledged to sponsor him as he embarks on the rigorous training regime required for his Olympic come-back mission.
Greg says: "The second of August is a day I've celebrated every year like a birthday. I suddenly thought to myself 'Wouldn't it be amazing to row on that day in London, exactly 20 years later.'"
As a partner in Lane4, the business performance consultancy founded by Olympic swimming gold medallist Adrian Moorhouse, Greg is used to helping companies draw up winning strategies, but from January 2010 he is setting his own performance targets. His first goal is to make the Great Britain team in 2010. At the first assessment trial of the winter for rowers outside the senior GB squad he finished first out of 86 entrants.
Says CPM Managing Director Martin Ryan: "We are delighted to have forged this relationship with Greg, which will enable us to share his journey to 2012 and bring the Olympics to life for our business. In return, Greg has become an ambassador for CPM and our clients. His determination to overcome challenges and attain peak performance makes him a fantastic role model for all of us."
"As part of our sponsorship agreement, Greg will be working with CPM's leadership team on corporate fitness this Summer and will be presenting at our Management Conference in early February."
CPM already promotes a strong health and fitness culture, and enthusiastically supports Active Sport, an organisation that promotes youth participation in sport. Last year CPM staff completed the Big Green Bike Ride, a 330-mile cyclathon that raised over £3,000 in aid of the NSPCC. For 2010, the Spirit of CPM Challenge will see a five-stage bike ride from our Thame HQ to the office of CPM Ireland, in Dublin.
