Computacenter extends partnership with Loughborough Sport

Computacenter has committed to extending its longstanding partnership with Loughborough Sport.

The partnership will support elite-level female and Para sport programmes as named sponsors of the Loughborough Cycling Academy, Loughborough Lightning Netball, and Loughborough Lightning Wheelchair Basketball. 

This new agreement will also see the very best of Loughborough’s performance sport expertise and education programmes embedded into Computacenter as we continue aiming to recruit exemplary students into our award-winning graduate training schemes, all whilst utilising Loughborough’s experience in executive education courses for current employees. 

Craig Cobb, Future Talent Manager, Computacenter (UK) said, ‘The Loughborough partnership is important to our organisation because it allows us to have a strong connection with an elite student base which ensures our intake of talent remains of the highest quality.’

‘We also benefit greatly from their coaching and mentoring which we use to help shape our recruits’ attitude and approach to working in sales, prioritising a healthy balance of a winning mentality, understanding the importance of preparation, and focusing on healthy habits to allow them to perform at their best.’

Through inspiring leadership talks and practical performance testing, Loughborough are transferring their high-performance knowledge to benefit Computacenter’s highest performing executives. Jo Simpson, Commercial and Facilities Director for Loughborough Sport stated, ‘I am incredibly proud of the partnership we have developed with Computacenter, as an organisation they deeply align with our core values.’

‘This ground-breaking relationship supports our female and Para sport programmes and highlights the innovative and forward-thinking approach Computacenter take to their business and employees.’
