Arla has announced a three-year partnership with the Great Run Company, which will see the brand becoming the title partner of the Great North Swim.

The popular open water swimming event, staged at Brockhole on Windermere, in the stunning surroundings of the Lake District National Park, welcomes around eight thousand swimmers across three days in June every year.

“We're excited to welcome Arla on board at the Great North Swim,” Paul Foster, chief executive of the Great Run Company, said.

“The Great North Swim has been motivating and inspiring swimmers to lead an active life since our first event in 2008 and a healthy diet is an important part of that. Partnering with Arla will help us support our customers in the build up to their event and enhance their experience on the day."

Rachel Campbell, Arla brand and sustainability director said: “The Great North Swim is a truly inspirational event, encouraging people of all ages and abilities to take on their own personal open water challenges, to improve or enhance their health.

“Arla is committed to providing natural, nutritious dairy that is made in the best possible way, and we’re looking forward to supporting swimmers throughout their training and during their Arla Great North Swim experience.”

This year’s Arla Great North Swim will take place from 9-11 June. The event features six different open water swimming distances to suit all ages, abilities and levels of experience.

Jameson teams up with Admiral, for a tracksuit modelled by Kyle Jameson

Irish Whiskey brand Jameson has been the English Football League's (EFL) main spirits sponsor for two seasons and is deeply entrenched in all aspects of the league, including player sponsorships. It has now signed up with Admiral to celebrate both brands' association with the beautiful game. They have worked closely together to create a full retro-inspired tracksuit in Jameson’s signature green, featuring key elements from Admiral’s world-famous designs for team performance wear, to create a slouchy royal green trackie ready prepped for pubs, presents, party games and freezing cold five-a-sides this Christmas.

“Jameson shares a history rich with the beautiful game, so teaming up with an iconic heritage brand like Admiral felt like a natural fit, with the results speaking for themselves,” said Josh McCarthy, Brand Director for Pernod Ricard UK. “A classic tracksuit, from two classic brands, to look sharp after the match when buying your mates a round of Jameson, Ginger and Lime. Nostalgia is everywhere at the moment and growing up in Leicester, there was no shortage of Admiral tops in the park and at the local football clubs.”
