At Kukri Sports, our mission goes beyond high-quality apparel — we are committed to elevating athletes and giving them the platform to excel.
Whether at grassroots level or competing for international honours, we are proud to support athletes and be a long-standing partner of the para-sport community.
As we launch our new campaign to celebrate these remarkable achievements, we want to shine a light on the journeys and voices that inspire us both on and off the field.
Our commitment is rooted in long-term partnerships with organizations like Team England, British Fencing, British Wheelchair Basketball, and England Athletics, as well as leading educational institutions such as Loughborough University.
Together, we provide technical excellence in apparel while amplifying athletes’ voices, breaking down barriers, and inspiring the next generation
Stories That Inspire
Amy Thompson – Building confidence and visibility
Our ambassador, Amy Thompson, is a rising star in shot put, recently captaining England at the Home Countries U20 International and earning her first call-up to this year’s World Para Championships on 26 September.
“With the help from Kukri, they have really propelled my career, helping me with not only my kit but my social media presence.
“Without their support, I don’t think I would have as many opportunities as I do currently and that comes down to their support away from sport and really building my confidence.”
Hannah Cockroft CBE – Redefining limits
Nine-time Paralympic champion and ambassador Hannah Cockroft CBE has built her career on pushing boundaries.
For Hannah, wheelchair racing is not just a sport, but a gateway to independence and achievement.
“I’m really proud to be a para-athlete. Wheelchair racing is my freedom. The opportunities that being a wheelchair racer gave me ultimately changed my life.”
Hannah also uses her platform to shift perceptions on para-sport, challenging the idea that wheelchair racing is easy or secondary.
“When you have a disability, you are told more often what you can’t do rather than what you can do.
“I like to use my sport to show people what is possible, and hopefully inspire people to challenge themselves and find out what they can achieve.”
British Fencing – Inclusivity in action
Through partners like British Fencing, Kukri supports athletes who prove that inclusivity is the foundation of sporting progress.
For para fencer and coach Aimee Aronica, fencing restored her connection to the sport she had loved for two decades.
“When I acquired my disability, I felt like I lost my sport. Having wheelchair fencing open to me gave me a way to engage with the sport I have spent 20 years competing in.
“If we as a community can make disability less scary and open up para-sport as a place for everybody, I am hoping our sport can grow and be a place where everybody can achieve their dreams.”
For teammates James Peebles and Wiktoria Mucha, para-fencing is both a test of resilience and a transformative journey.
“Being a para-athlete is about proving that a disability doesn’t define what I can or can’t do,” said James.
“It’s about picking myself up when things don’t go to plan, dusting myself off and trying again, as many times as it takes.”
“Wheelchair fencing has changed my life in more ways that I can ever begin to describe,” said Wiktoria.
“Inclusivity in sport is incredibly important to me as it allows me to feel included and a part of something.
“With the support of those around me, I can do anything and forget about the things I struggle with.”
Looking Ahead
At Kukri, we are committed to supporting para-athletes across a range of sports, ensuring their journeys are seen, heard and celebrated.
In the weeks ahead, we will share content offering a closer look at our athletes’ journeys, highlighting the resilience, determination and talent that makes para-sport so special.
Because for us, it’s about more than sport — it’s about breaking barriers, amplifying voices, and inspiring the next generation.
Beyond Limits. Together.
