Circle K has announced a new partnership with Paralympics Ireland, which will see the forecourt retailer become official fuel and convenience partner to the Irish Paralympic Team ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
To make the announcement, Irish European Para-Athletic Championship bronze medallists Jordan Lee and Orla Comerford joined Circle K’s managing director Niall Anderton and Paralympics Ireland president John Fulham at Citywest Hotel in Dublin to make the announcement at Circle K’s national conference. Circle K welcomed over 500 staff and independent dealer partners to the event.
Over the coming months, the partnership will become integrated across Circle K’s nationwide network of 410 sites, ensuring visibility of its support of Irish Paralympians in-store, on the forecourt and on the road.
The partnership further demonstrates Circle K’s commitment to supporting communities and the athletes who represent them, at all levels, following the recent announcement of Circle K’s partnership with the Irish Olympic Team.
Niall Anderton, MD of Circle K, said he’s excited about this new partnership. “Communities are at the heart of everything we do as an organisation,” Anderton said, “and the Paralympic Games bring communities across Ireland together in support of the extraordinary people who represent them.
“We are looking forward to bringing this partnership to life across the Circle K network over the coming months,” he added, “along with our sponsorship of Team Ireland’s Olympic athletes ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Games. We wish all athletes every success for the journey ahead.”
John Fulham, president of Paralympics Ireland, said the announcement represents “a great day” for Irish Paralympic sport. “Circle K is a company with a nationwide footprint visible in almost every town and village throughout the country,” he said. “I truly believe that this partnership will benefit those that need it most: our Irish Paralympic hopefuls.”
