Opus Energy supplies electricity to over 50,000 properties across the UK, typically made up of small and medium sized businesses, and in a new sponsorship deal will be supporting gymnast Daniel Keatings from Corby, as announced in an issued press release yesterday.

Last year Daniel set the gymnastics world alight when he became Junior All Around Champion at the European Championships, where he also gained an amazing four gold medals. The talented 19 year old also achieved team gold and another individual bronze, which was the first time a British gymnast has ever achieved such a feat.

Opus Energy, whose head offices are in Northampton, will be supporting Daniel all the way to the London 2012 Olympic by sponsoring and supporting his coaching, competition fees, equipment and travel which will allow him to dedicate his time solely to achieving success in his chosen sport without having to find alternative ways of generating income.

Charlie Crossley Cooke, Managing Director at Opus Energy, commented that Opus is proud to be sponsoring a local world class athlete who is showing huge potential, and that the energy supplier is delighted to be able to support Daniel in a way that will allow him to focus on his dream of success.

Mr. Cooke said:

“He’s had a great year and we wish him every success for the World Championships in October. We will all be following his progress closely”

Daniel is a Junior Ambassador for Northamptonshire Enterprise, and also promotes sport and exercise in local schools.
