Working with their partners, the University of Hull, Team GB launched a podcast series which gave insights into the defining moments in the careers of some of their most famous athletes.

The brand is working on a brand new style guide, which will launch in October to show retailers and licensees new assets and design ideas that showcase the breadth of the Team GB brand. 

“When the time comes for the Games to happen next July, and we have every belief the Games will happen, it will be a seminal sporting moment, bringing the world back together to celebrate the best sporting accomplishments and the continuing power of the human race to triumph over adversity,” says Paul Ellis, retail head, Team GB. “Team GB and its athletes will be ready. We will be prepared to compete at our best, in no small part thanks to our commercial partners, licensees and donors who remain our lifeblood, ensuring we can send the best teams to Tokyo next summer, Beijing six months later for the Olympic Winter Games and the Paris Olympic Games in 2024.”
