“It’s our first time as the main sponsor of a sports team, and we’re proud to be partnered with one that celebrates people with different abilities. We’re excited to learn from them, to understand their viewpoints and ensure this continues to be represented in the work that we do.”

Team BRIT Founder Dave Player added: “We are thrilled to have the support and confidence of Brand Advance, who are perfect partners for us, aligning with our ethos, vision and values perfectly.

“Christopher’s company is committed to recognising and celebrating the value of every part of our diverse communities and making sure that no one is overlooked. That is everything we’re about. We show people that disability does not mean that opportunities are over. Disabled drivers have every right to compete on a level playing field and we’re living proof that we’re not only able to compete, we’re able to win.”
