Yonex backs badminton's English National Championship Series
BADMINTON England has cemented its already strong partnership with Yonex by agreeing a multi-year deal with the world's number one badminton brand to be Official Sports Equipment Partners for the English National Championship Series.
The English National Championships are being held at the stadiummk arena in Milton Keynes for the first time on February 8th and 9th, following the decision to move the event to the 'home' of English badminton.
Yonex is already well known throughout the badminton world as Title Sponsors of the All England Open Championships, which is being held in Birmingham's National Indoor Arena (NIA) from March 4th to 9th.
BADMINTON England Chief Executive, Adrian Christy, said: "We have enjoyed a long and fruitful partnership with Yonex and I am delighted that the relationship is now being extended to include our National Championship Series. The partnership will support not just the senior Championships but the next generation of talent at Under 11, Under 13, Under 15, Under 17 and Under 19s, as well as the English Masters Championships".
Yonex UK Managing Director, Paul Jepson, said: "We are already Title Sponsors of the Scottish and Welsh National Championships and are naturally delighted to extend our involvement to play a key role in the English National Championships Series in what is going to be a big year for our company.
"We have long enjoyed a successful partnership with BADMINTON England and we are looking forward to next month's English National Championships, not least because our Yonex contract players are expected to have a big say in where the titles go. As English Nationals partners we are also delighted to help showcase the emerging talent on the English badminton scene".
Rajiv Ouseph will be looking to extend his domination of men's singles to seven consecutive English National titles while Chris and Gabby Adcock will be bidding to recapture the mixed doubles title they won in 2012.
Chris Adcock will also be out to regain the men's doubles title with Andy Ellis and Sarah Walker is aiming to retain her women's singles title.
