Skandia Team GBR - The Partnership
Backing the British sailing team in their quest for gold in London 2012
In pledging our support to Skandia Team GBR, G4S has committed to partnering the most consistently successful Olympic medal winning sport for ‘Team GB’ over the past three Olympic Games in Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008. A trend that with our support, Skandia Team GBR are seeking to maintain when the next Olympic regatta sails out of Weymouth as part of London 2012.
In addition to supporting the ‘Performance Squad’, the team from which the sailors who will join Team GB and represent Great Britain at the Olympics and Paralympics are ultimately selected, G4S is also committed to the long term development of aspiring members of the team’s ‘Development’ and ‘Transitional’ squads.
Exclusive Provider of Security Services to the team, G4S has already been working closely with Skandia Team GBR since early 2006, supporting the team at a number of regattas in locations as varied as Hyeres, South of France; Sail for Gold in Weymouth and the 2008 Olympics in China.

Stephen Park, Team Manager for the British Olympic Sailing Team, is in no doubt as to the partnership’s benefit for members of all Skandia squads.
"The tricky 2008 Olympic waters of China were certainly challenging, but then the road towards medal success is always a testing one, which is why we are delighted that G4S have joined us on our journey towards further medal success at London 2012.
Whilst G4S’ support and funding has helped further enhance our performance programme, their first class security provision also allows the team to focus on training and competing, secure in the knowledge that they and their sailing equipment are safe wherever we travel around the world.”
