London 2012 Home Head Journey

Why we're getting behind Beth Storry and London 2012.

We are delighted to announce that we are now supporting local field hockey goalkeeper, Beth Storry, as she 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.

Reading-born Beth trains locally at the Reading Hockey Club. She has been in goal since the age of 12 and in 2003 she got her first senior international cap at the Champions Trophy in Macau. She won bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games in 2006 and bronze medal at the 2010 World Cup. She was also honoured with the Goalkeeper of the Tournament award.

Beth commented: ‘I love BMWs and can't believe that I'm going to be driving a new BMW 116d from now until the end of London 2012. I have a really demanding training session and I do a lot of travelling to promote the Games so having a new car is brilliant. Thank you so much Cooper Reading and BMW.’

‘It's fantastic to be supporting a local athlete hoping to qualify for London 2012,’ said Frank Stassi, Dealer Principal at Cooper Reading. ‘We're really rooting for Beth, and are delighted to be involved in her journey. Backing her makes us all feel if we're playing a part in the London 2012 Games too.’
