Kukri Sports proudly celebrates the outstanding performances of six Youth Talent Programme (YTP) Ambassadors who competed at the England Athletics Senior, U20 & Para Championships.

Harriet Court, Euan Murray, Isabelle Stamp, Alice Howie, Qi-Chi Ukpai and Isabella Turner all showed their talent in Birmingham, representing their clubs and Kukri across multiple events from 25-27 July.

The Youth Talent Programme, supported by Kukri, is vital in nurturing promising young athletes, providing them with essential resources and mentorship as they advance in their athletic careers,

Through the ongoing partnership, Kukri play a key role in supporting and developing selected athletes both on and off the track.

National Titles, Personal Bests and Podium Finishes

Harriet Court delivered a standout performance, claiming the U20 Women’s javelin title and securing a second placed finish in the senior women’s event. “It’s always a great opportunity to perform at such a high-level competition.

“Competing in that environment is really motivating, and I’m proud to represent my club and Kukri.”

She added, “I’m proud to have won the competition. Even though none of us threw particularly well because of the rain, I managed to pull it out on my last throw, which was really pleasing.”

Qi-Chi Ukpai added another national title to her impressive record, becoming the U20 Triple Jump champion and earning her ninth national crown.

“It’s been especially great to have that support from Kukri in my first year competing against athletes at the under-20 level!”

Qi-Chi also celebrated a milestone of consistency, sharing, “I had my first competition series where every single jump was above 12 metres.

“I have loads of improvements to make, but overall it was a great learning experience.”

Euan Murray impressed in the para-ambulant sprints, setting personal bests in both the U20 100M (T49) and 200m (T41) events.

“Representing Kukri and Team Bath at this level of competition was a true privilege!

“Seeing all the Kukri sponsorship and branding at the competition made me proud to be representing the brand.”

Euan is now setting his sights on next weekend’s British Championships, stating, “I definitely feel like I achieved my goals this past weekend.

“Now it’s full focus and recovery and looking to rub sub 11.95 in the 100m again.”

Alice Howie threw a personal best of 55.11m in the third round U20 hammer throw, a result that met her long-season target.

“It’s definitely more nerve-wracking to represent Kukri and my club at the higher-level events, but it’s ultimately really exciting.

“It’s a great feeling to have thrown a distance I’ve been aiming for all season. The season is not quite finished yet though and I’m always aiming to throw further.”

Isabelle Stamp rounded out the weekend with a bronze medal in the U20 shot put, ending her personal season on a high.

“Every time I put on my club vest, it feels like a huge honour.

“This season has been up and down, but ending it with a bronze medal was nice to show that the work I’m putting in at training is paying off.”

Isabella Turner narrowly missed a personal best in the U20 pole vault (F23) event, but showed clear signs of technical progress.

“Representing Kukri as well highlighted the importance of the support through the YTP and how that has helped me,” she said.

“My goals were to place first in the Euro U20 trials and to have a good attempt at a PB height, both of which I succeeded.”

Kukri Sports extends its congratulations to its ambassadors for their had work and success at the Championships.

Their achievements are not only a celebration of individual excellence, but also a shining example of the power of structured development and support through the YTP.

Whether it’s chasing a new personal best, returning from injury, or representing their country, sport is about more than talent or physical ability, but also the inner mindset that keeps athletes going through challenges, setbacks and pressure.

As a global sportswear provider, we’re committed to supporting this whole journey by providing innovative, high-performance kit that helps athletes feel confident, focused and empowered to perform at their best.

We spoke with four of our elite ambassadors – nine-time Paralympic champion Hannah Cockroft CBE, world number ten ranked beach volleyball duo the Bello Brothers and England Lacrosse international Liv Thomas to explore how they stay motivated.

Hannah Cockroft CBE

“Mindset plays a massive role in my training and competition. It’s so hard to get a good session in when your mind is determined not to enjoy it,” she said.

“I truly believe that 50% of winning is believing you can.”

To sharpen that belief, Hannah uses visualisation to prepare mentally for each race, allowing her to focus and eliminate distractions.

When it comes to performance wear, practicality and psychology are equally important.

“I need clothing that works with my race chair and doesn’t distract me mid-session.

“It’s also about looking elite, because when you look the part, you feel the part.”

Javier & Joa Bello

For the Bello Brothers, mental preparation is at the core of their world-class performance, beginning long before the first serve.

“We always begin tournament days with a morning activation — light training, scouting opponents, and setting a game plan. That structure gives us confidence and helps manage pressure.”

As brothers and teammates, their unique connection fuels their performance.

“In beach volleyball it’s just the two of us — no coach, no substitutions. Trust is one of our biggest strengths. It’s taken years to build that bond.”

Liv Thomas

After two major injuries in just 18 months, Liv knows exactly how motivation and resilience intertwine.

“Staying in touch with my teammates and sharing my journey online helped me stay accountable and reminded me of how far I’d come,” Liv reflects.

Returning to the international stage has given her a new appreciation for the sport.

“I’ve become so much more grateful for every time I get to step on the pitch.

“Putting on that England shirt again was such a powerful moment. Wearing it just motivates me to keep working and to never take it for granted.”

What Motivation Means to Them

We asked each athlete to sum up what motivation in sport means to them:

– Hannah Cockroft CBE: “Motivation is waking up every day and wanting to be better than yesterday.”

– Javier & Joa Bello: “It’s the drive to prove to ourselves that we belong with the best.”

– Liv Thomas: “Motivation is knowing how far I’ve come and how far I still want to go.”

Motivation, powered by performance

Motivation looks different for every athlete — but mindset is what drives progress. Kukri is proud to support athletes through every step of their journey, with sportswear that empowers them to perform, focus, and keep moving forward.

Great Britain’s rowing team delivered a stunning performance at the 2025 European Rowing Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria (29 May – 1 June), finishing top of the overall medal table to defend their European title.

Of the 39 athletes selected, 28 were crowned champions of Europe, marking one of British Rowing’s most successful European campaigns to date, fuelled by the debut of Kukri’s new high-performance rowing suits.

High-Performance Kukri Rowing Suits Make Championship Debut

Worn for the first time at a major European event, Kukri’s high-performance rowing suits supported all GB crews, delivering comfort, confidence and elite performance on the water.

British Rowing’s crews claimed nine medals, six of which were gold, that underlined the power of preparation and benefits of cutting-edge kit.

Rising Stars & Record Breakers

Reigning Olympic champion, Lauren Henry, delivered one of the performances of the championships in the Women’s single sculls, claiming gold in her first senior international regatta in this boat class.

“To make the podium is really, really special. I wanted to come here and make a name for myself and I feel like I’ve done that.

“I want to be World Champion, I want to be Olympic Champion, I want to break the world best time, I want to be the most successful British single sculler ever. That’s my aim. I’ve still got many years to go — but watch this space!”

Benjamin Pritchard Sets Records & Makes History

Paralympic champion Bejamin Pritchard made his mark with a gold medal in the PR1 Men’s single sculls, setting a world best time of 08:40.38.

“I’m the first ever British PR1 European Champion. Full stop,” Pritchard said.

“Getting a World best time twice in a week is all pretty special to go down in the history books for that. I’m just getting started.”

More Medals & European Best Times

GB Rowing Team’s success continued with a gold, silver and two bronze medals on the first day of the finals.

The women’s quadruple sculls crew of Sarah McKay, Lola Anderson, Cam Nyland and Becky Wilde stormed to gold in a European Championship best time, highlighting the strength in depth across the team, with the women’s eight team also putting on a show to win their race in style.

The GB Men’s eight made history of their own, defeating a powerful Dutch crew by just 0.24 seconds to claim their fifth consecutive European title, setting a new British record in the process and reinforcing their dominance on the continental stage.

Pushing the Limits with Kukri

“We are very proud to have played a part in this golden chapter for British Rowing,” said Andy Ronnie, Group CEO at Kukri Sports.

“There’s a real sense of pride in seeing our suits contribute to history being made, and supporting these fantastic athletes as they continue to chase greatness.”

Looking Ahead

Next up this season, British Rowing will be competing in the World Rowing Cup Varese from 13 – 15 June, with all six European gold medal winning crews returning to represent Great Britain.

Kukri stands proudly behind British Rowing – delivering elite sportswear that performs at the highest level.

At Kukri Sports, we pride ourselves on being more than just a sportswear provider. We believe in building lasting partnerships that extend beyond supplying high-quality apparel. One of our core values is to add meaningful value to our collaborations, whether through community involvement, educational initiatives, or fostering young talent.

Recently, we had the privilege of visiting our valued partner, Reigate Grammar School, to deliver an insightful lecture to students offering a real-life example of how a global sportswear brand puts sustainability and ethical practices into action. The session explored Kukri’s five key CSR pillars—Reuse, Reduce, Recycle, Responsible, and Review—demonstrating how the company minimises its environmental impact, supports workers’ rights, and engages with local communities. Designed to inspire the next generation, the presentation gave students valuable insight into how businesses can balance profit with purpose and contribute positively to society and the planet.

“We are proud to partner with Reigate Grammar School and support their students’ development by sharing industry knowledge and insights. It’s fantastic to see schools like Reigate Grammar prioritising education beyond the classroom and valuing real-world experiences,” said Josh Beal, Sales Director at Kukri Sports.

Why Added Value Matters

In today’s competitive landscape, schools are increasingly looking to partner with brands that go beyond just providing a product. The concept of added value has become integral in the decision-making process for educational institutions seeking long-term partnerships. Schools like Reigate Grammar are looking for brands that invest in their students’ personal and professional growth, giving them opportunities to learn, develop skills, and gain industry insight.

At Kukri Sports, we are committed to delivering more than just exceptional sportswear. Our collaboration with Reigate Grammar School exemplifies this philosophy. By offering our industry knowledge and insights through our presentation, we aimed to inspire students to think creatively about the world of sports and beyond.

Empowering the Future

We firmly believe that nurturing young minds and helping them gain a deeper understanding of the sportswear sector is an investment in the future. We value the opportunity to work alongside progressive schools like Reigate Grammar, where the emphasis on holistic student development aligns with our own brand ethos.

Through initiatives like this, Kukri Sports continues to demonstrate that we are more than just a brand – we are partners in education, inspiration, and community development. We look forward to building on this partnership and supporting the next generation of leaders and innovators in the sports industry.

Kukri Sports is thrilled to welcome one of Britain’s most decorated para-athletes, Hannah Cockroft, as its newest brand ambassador, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to inclusivity, performance and empowering athletes at every level.

A Shared Vision of Inclusion and Excellence

A nine-time Paralympic champion, multiple world-record holder and trailblazer in para-sport, Hannah has been a dominant force in wheelchair racing since making her debut for Great Britain at the age of 18.

Her career has long been connected to the national athletics system in the UK, including events supported by England Athletics and British Athletics. Through domestic competitions, talent pathways and advocacy for para-athletes, Hannah has been a visible and vocal figure across the athletics landscape.

As the official kit provider for England Athletics, Kukri has championed athletes like Hannah from grassroots through to elite level. This includes proud support for the Youth Talent Programme, which plays a vital role in developing young athletes, both able-bodied and para, as part of the England Athletics talent pathway.

This shared, inclusive approach reflects Kukri’s belief in championing potential across all disciplines, ensuring the next generation of stars has access to opportunity, resources and representation to help fulfil their potential.

“The First Kit Provider to Join My Team in 17 Years”

“Having the opportunity to be an ambassador for Kukri Sports is incredible – they’re the first kit provider to join my team in 17 years,” Hannah said.

“It means so much to me that they’re supporting a para-athlete, a group who are so often overlooked.

“I find it amazing that Kukri supports athletes at all levels, because the grassroots element is so often ignored, so to be able to work with a brand who have the same values as me makes me feel proud.

“I’m excited to work on developing the perfect kit for me, to gain new experiences, and to be part of something bigger than just sport.”

The announcement follows Kukri’s partnership extension with Team England, where they will continue as the official kit supplier through to the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Scotland.

A Legacy of Dominance on the Global Stage

Nicknamed ‘Hurricane Hannah’ for her explosive power on the track, Hannah has delivered landmark moments throughout her illustrious career. She made her paralympic debut at the London 2012 Olympic Games, capturing gold in the T34 100m and 200m events, while setting two new paralympic records in the process.

Her dominance continued with triple gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics and double gold in the 2024 Paralympic Games, bringing her paralympic gold medal tally to nine. She is also the most decorated British athlete in World Championship history, with 16 titles to her name.

Currently, she holds the T34 world records for 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m and 1500m—an unprecedented feat. In 2022, Hannah was appointed OBE in the King’s New Year Honours followed by CBE in last year’s New Year Honours list, recognising not only her sporting excellence but her tireless advocacy for inclusion and representation in sport.

She was also named British Sportswoman of the Year by the Sports Journalists’ Association in 2017, the first para-athlete to ever receive the award in its 57-year history.

Cockroft has been a proud member of Team England, famously leading a 1-2-3 finish in the T34 100m at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. Kukri’s ongoing partnership with Team England ensures elite athletes like Hannah are equipped to perform at their best on the global stage.

On Track For 2025

Hannah’s 2025 season is already off to a promising start. She recently kicked things off with a 10-day training camp in Switzerland, where she also opened her competitive season.

“I’m currently in Switzerland, where I’ve been on a 10-day training camp before my season opener last weekend,” she shared. “Although there were no records broken, I set World Lead times in the 1000m, 400m and 800m events, so it’s a good place to start.”

With two more meets to go before returning to the UK next week, Hannah has had a busy few days and is laying strong foundations for what promises to be another standout year.

New Goals, Same Drive

Looking ahead, Cockroft is focused on defending her world titles at the 2025 World Para Athletics Championships in New Delhi this September and is already laying the groundwork for a historic fifth Paralympic Games appearance at Los Angeles 2028.

“I still have things I want to achieve”, she said.

“I’d love to hold the Paralympic, World, European and Commonwealth titles all at once, and I really believe I can be the first T34 woman to break 16 seconds in the 100m event. “

Empowering the Next Generation

Hannah’s passion for her sports extends well beyond competition. A champion for inclusion and accessibility, she regularly runs ‘come and try’ days for aspiring athletes, holds coaching qualifications, and uses her platform to advocate for better visibility and resources for para-sport.

“When I was growing up, it was so hard to even find out how to get involved in para-sport,” she explained.

“That’s why I try to give back, to make it easier for the next generation to discover what’s possible.

“Of course, we’re still lagging behind in many areas, from sponsorship and funding to spectator sport outside of Paralympic years, but I think opportunity has grown and that’s the most important place to start, as more champions coming through will hopefully then bring the rest with it.”

From the training track to the world’s biggest stage, having the right kit is crucial, and Hannah knows how vital those details are.

“In wheelchair racing, we put so much effort into aerodynamics and speed, so I like my kit to be close fitting, comfortable and doesn’t distract me at the start of a race.”

Standing Together for a More Inclusive Future

As Kukri continues to strengthen its commitment to inclusive sport, the partnership with Hannah marks another significant step forward in championing para-athletes.

“We’re incredibly proud to welcome Hannah to the Kukri family,” said Andrew Ronnie, Group CEO at Kukri Sports.

“She’s not only one of Britain’s most successful athletes, but also a passionate advocate for inclusion and the growth of para-sport. Her values align perfectly with ours, and we’re excited to support her journey and work with her to achieve her mission.”

With shared values of performance, representation and opportunity at every level of sport, the partnership between Kukri Sports and Hannah Cockroft is set to empower the next generation of athletes, on and off the track.

As preparations begin for this year’s World Para Athletics Championships and beyond, Kukri is proud to stand alongside Hannah in her pursuit of even more excellence and in shaping a more inclusive future for sport.

As a proud partner and the official sportswear supplier of AKS Lytham, Kukri has been privileged to support a year of exceptional sporting success – one that reflects the school’s deep-rooted commitment to both participation and performance across all age groups.

In an academic year that saw the school’s first XV rugby team lift the Lancashire Cup for the first time in their history, it has been a season of outstanding achievements across multiple sports.

“This is a huge achievement,” said first XV rugby captain Toby Curran. “It’s the result of years of dedication from players, coaches and parents.

“The real challenge was regaining our focus after a tough start to the season. The squad responded brilliantly, and our comeback win against Lancaster Grammar School in the Lancashire Cup quarter-final really showed our resilience and determination to overcome setbacks.”

The historic cup win, secured in front of a crowd of 1,300 supporters, was a defining moment for the rugby programme and Curran personally.

“I couldn’t be prouder to have captained this team and represented the school in such a special occasion.

“It’s a moment I’ll always cherish, and I’m incredibly grateful to all the parents, teachers and mentors who have supported me throughout my rugby journey at school.”

AKS Director of Sport Richard Chadwick added, “It was a fantastic occasion that celebrated everything good about the school – with the team representing the school so proudly.”

“Everyone was involved, from the ball boys to the photography club. That level of support reflects the strength of our community.”

Broadening the Winning Legacy

While the cup was the standout moment, AKS’s wider sporting story this year has been just as impressive.

In rugby, the school proudly celebrated a player’s selection for the North England U18 squad, which is a clear marker of the high-performance environment being cultivated.

Hockey continues to thrive at the school, with the U13 A & B teams crowned Lancashire Cup champions and the U11s claiming the In2 Hockey County title.

The U13s also secured a third-place finish in the North West In2 Hockey finals.

Girls’ cricket made headlines too, as the U13 squad reached the Lancashire Cup finals day, while the schools’ ongoing investment in girls’ sport was highlighted by the Jean Torrance U12 Festival of Hockey, which saw more than 150 girls from across the region take part.

Across other sports, the U11 football team were crowned Lancashire Small Schools Primary County champions, and the year 8/9 girls cross country squad dominated at the Wyre & Fylde Championships to claim first place – further evidence of AKS’s sporting depth and diversity.

Building a Culture of Inclusion

At AKS Lytham, the philosophy is simple: every student should have access to quality sport, whether they dream of representing their country or simply want to enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle.

“Our ambition is to provide pathways for everyone – from participation to elite performance,” said Chadwick.

“That’s why we run a Sports Scholars programme, offer overseas tours and open our doors to the wider community.”

That community-first mindset has seen the school evolve into a regional sports hub. Its facilities are used throughout the year for training, camps, and competitions—creating a space where sporting talent across the Fylde Coast can thrive.

And with international tours to Argentina and Uruguay planned this summer, AKS students will continue to gain unforgettable experiences that go beyond the local leagues and county titles.

Proud to Support Their Journey

At Kukri, we believe in the power of sport to inspire identity, discipline and a sense of belonging. That’s why we’re proud to partner with AKS Lytham and help their athletes perform at their best through high-quality, customised sportswear.

From the grassroots to national honours, AKS is building something special. And while trophies like the Lancashire Cup are cherished, it’s the shared values—teamwork, resilience, and pride that truly define the school’s sporting success.

Kukri Sports is proud to announce the addition of first-year Loughborough University student and rising hockey star Monty Neave as its newest brand ambassador.

A talented athlete with a promising future, Monty represents the spirit of dedication, resilience and high-performance that define Kukri as a brand.

Monty, a current first-year student studying Psychology at Loughborough University, continues to thrive in Hockey, not only representing Loughborough Hockey men’s team, but also featuring in the 18-man Great Britain squad that were crowned winners of the Sultan of Johor Cup in October 2024.

In his new role, Monty will help connect Kukri with the next generation of athletes and share his journey as he continues to rise in British hockey.

“It’s a privilege to be named as a brand ambassador for Kukri Sports,” he said.

“I’m really looking forward to working with the brand helping it to grow even more. This is my first experience as a brand ambassador for a sportswear supplier, so I’m excited to make new connections within the sports marketing industry and build my brand.”

Currently representing England U21s and the GB Elite Development Programme, Monty has quickly established himself as an exciting prospect in British hockey.

His journey from a small local club in Berkshire, his hometown, to the top level of junior international hockey is a testament to his perseverance and passion for the sport.

Having started hockey at the age of 12, Monty’s rise hasn’t been without setbacks, from missing out on county selection at U13 to pushing through a pandemic-induced break in play, he’s shown resilience at every turn.

“I didn’t make England U18 in my first year, but I kept working. I eventually broke through, trained with the U21 and later was selected for both U21 England and GB EDP – now I’m in my second year with both,” he reflects.

As a student-athlete at Loughborough University, in which Kukri has been the long-standing official teamwear supplier for, Monty is taking advantage of one of the UK’s most elite sporting environments as he continues to develop.

“I love how professional the set-up feels,” he said. “From strength and conditioning coaches to nutritionists and physiotherapists, we’ve got access to so much support.

“The high level of hockey here really pushes you to improve, and the culture in the team is incredible.”

Balancing sport with academics is no easy task, but Monty’s approach is grounded in solid preparation and self-awareness.

“Time management has been key for me – planning ahead, prioritising, and knowing when to ask for help.

“The support from the performance lifestyle team at Loughborough has really helped, especially when I had to miss two weeks of lectures while playing in the Sultan of Johor Cup in Malaysia.”

Looking ahead to his second year, Monty’s goals are clear. “I want to become a key player for Loughborough, win silverware, and make the most of every opportunity the programme offers.

“Most importantly though, I want to improve as a hockey player.”

Kukri Sports is excited to support Monty as he continues his journey on and off the pitch and are committed to supporting him as he develops as a hockey player.
