WORCESTER Wolves and city technology company Gtech will continue a successful partnership into another year.

Warndon-based Gtech, a manufacturer of innovative lightweight bikes, vacuum cleaners and garden tools, has announced it will be sponsoring Worcester Wolves Basketball Club for a third year in a row.

GTech has renewed its deal as one of the main sponsors of the British Basketball League side, which owned by the University of Worcester.

Nick Grey, owner of Gtech, said: “The end of last season was fantastic.

"The team were playing the best basketball in the league and we really thought they were going to make it to the O2 (the O2 Arena final) and it was just a great buzz.

"We couldn’t wait for this season to start and for the guys to all get back together again.

“For anyone who hasn’t been to a game yet, go. It’s a great night out.

"These players have travelled from all over the world and play to a very high standard. Basketball is a fast game and the atmosphere is electric when they are in full flow.”

Wolves Managing Director, Mick Donovan, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be working with Gtech again.

"They have become an integral part of the Wolves family and support us in so many ways as one of our main sponsors.”

Despite a loss in the club’s first game of the season, Mr Grey added he was still impressed with this year's team.

Worcester Wolves has consolidated its squad with a number of experienced players, including Dallin Bachynski and George Beamon, while retaining familiar faces Ashton Khan, Alejandro Navajas, Jermel Kennedy and Dominic Ives

“They had a tough test when a strong London team came up, but we held our own for a long part of the game,” Mr Grey said.

“The coaching staff are really strong so the team tends to improve, throughout the season.

"They could be in for some silverware.”
