Insurer Liberty Mutual to sponsor four British athletics stars
Liberty Mutual Insurance (LMI) is sponsoring four British athletes.
LMI, the commercial lines division of Liberty Mutual Insurance Limited (LMIE), a part of Liberty Mutual Insurance Group is giving financial support to:
- Boxer Luke Campbell
- Paralympian discus thrower Dan Greaves
- Long jumper Chris Tomlinson
- Gymnast Hannah Whelan
The athletes will be involved in a number of activities including a broker training event and visiting some of LMI’s UK regional offices to take part in Q&A sessions with staff and brokers.
LMIE chief executive Sean Rocks said: “We take our sports seriously at Liberty; hence the big charity football match staged by our staff at the Charlton ground last year.
“We felt this was a great opportunity to support British athletes and give our brokers the chance to meet these sports people, all of whom are at the top of their game. It will also be interesting for our brokers to learn about the way in which these athletes prepare themselves and focus their energies.”
