As the Official Energy Services Partner, British Gas will power Team GB and ParalympicsGB ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games respectively, providing critical support to both organizations as they make their final preparations for next year’s events and beyond.
The campaign for the cooperation was photographed by Tom van Schelven, with post production in the hands of RETOUCHED STUDIOS. The executive agency was The&Partnership, London.
With less than a year to go until the Olympic and Paralympic Games return to Europe, the partnership is aimed not only at directly supporting the athletes’ endeavors but also at empowering young people and athletes to make a positive difference for themselves and their local communities.
In front of Tom’s camera were the popular UK sports stars Tom Daley, Johnson Thompson and Ellie Simmonds – with Tom Daley perhaps the most famous among them.
Diver Thomas Robert ‘Tom’ Daley OBE (* 21 May, 1994, in Plymouth, England) is specialized in the 10-meter platform event. In 2021, he took home Gold in the men’s synchronized diving discipline together with Matty Lee. At the championship in Rome in 2009, he already won the 10-meter platform event, making him the youngest world record holder in history. He has represented the UK in multiple international competitions, including four Olympic Games (2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020). He gained fame also for his taste in knitwear as well as for his entertaining spots on his social media channels.
As an entirely independently funded organization, the British Olympic Association relies on the support of its commercial partners – such as British Gas – to fund its activities in taking Team GB athletes to both the summer and winter editions of the Olympic Games.
ParalympicsGB is the UK’s largest disability sports charity and relies on the support of its commercial partners to deliver a world class environment where athletes can achieve their personal best performances and break down barriers for all disabled people.
Serving around twelve million homes in the United Kingdom, British Gas is the biggest energy supplier in the country and is considered one of the Big Six who dominate the gas and electricity market in the UK.
