Why we're getting behind James Goddard and London 2012.

We are delighted to announce that we are now supporting local 200m Backstroke and Individual Medley swimmer James Goddard as he attempts to qualify for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Following the appointment of BMW Group as the Official Automotive Partner of the 2012 Games, BMW is now actively supporting British athletes, such as Ellie Simmonds and Louis Smith, via the BMW London 2012 Performance Team. Meanwhile, in line with the Performance Team initiative, BMW dealers like us will be working with local athletes, supporting their endeavours to qualify for Team GB or ParalympicsGB.

James Goddard trains locally at the Stockport Metro. At 27 years of age, Seychelles-born, James has already won two Commonwealth gold medals in Delhi in 2010 and came so close to a bronze at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
‘I'm really grateful to Williams Stockport and BMW for their support,’ said James Goddard. ‘It's tough trying to qualify for a place at the Olympic Games and it's a big help knowing that they are behind me, helping to raise funds and awareness. It's also fantastic having a brand new BMW 3 Series from now until the end of the 2012 Games. There's a lot of travelling to heats, competitions and promotional events so it's great being able to arrive there in style.’

Alexandra Dunning, Dealer Principal at Williams Stockport said: ‘This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get really involved with the 2012 Games. Our staff and customers are keen to support London 2012 so we're really happy to be backing James. - especially since he competes in a sport that has less funding than the big athletic events.’
Why not continue to follow James' updates here at Williams Stockport.
