UCKFIELD global fastenings manufacturer and distributor TR Fastenings is once again sponsoring aspiring Sussex triathlete Jamie Bedwell as he returns to competitive racing after a serious accident.
Jamie is working hard to be eligible for selection for Team GB at the 2024 and 2028 Olympics.
Jamie, who was hit by a car while out running in October 2016, suffered severe injuries to his kidneys, back and head and was admitted to hospital in Brighton.
To the amazement of the medical team and his family, Jamie was released after five days and was back in the training pool just four weeks after the accident.
He completed his first run last Christmas and started the 2017 triathlon season in March.
TR’s sponsorship will go towards equipment for his training.
