London 2012 Home Head Journey

Why we're getting behind Luke and London 2012.

We are delighted to announce that we are now supporting local boxer, Luke Campbell, as he 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.

Luke trains locally, at the St Pauls Gym in Hull and has been boxing since the age of 12. At just 23, he has already won many accolades as well as becoming the first English boxer in a decade to reach the finals of the European Championships.

Luke commented: ‘I love BMWs and can't believe that I'm going to be driving a brand new BMW 1 Series from now until the end of the London 2012 Games. I have a really demanding training schedule and I do a lot of travelling to promote the Games so having the BMW 1 Series is brilliant. Thank you so much Stratstone and BMW.’

David Seaton, Dealer Principal at Stratstone Hull. said: ‘Getting behind our local London 2012 hopeful is a great opportunity for everyone connected with Stratstone Hull to get involved with London 2012. Everyone in Hull is very proud of Luke and will be over the moon should he qualify next year. We're hoping to see more of Luke here at the dealership and will be giving customers the chance to meet him later in the year.’
