Equiom, the leading trust and corporate service provider headquartered in the Isle of Man, but with offices in Jersey, Malta and Cyprus is delighted to announce that they have become the main sponsor for the Manx Youth Sailing Squad (MYSS).

The sponsorship deal will provide the MYSS with the necessary funding to offer junior sailors the opportunity to compete in high-level racing events both on the Island and overseas.  The squad, formed in 2008, has already achieved world-class results with members competing in the GB RS Tera Squad at the World Championships in 2010, 11, 12 and 13.

Equiom’s Client Services Director, Aidan Davin, commenting on the sponsorship said; “We are delighted to be able to support local talent and assist in an independently funded junior Island squad.  The young squad has already received acclaim competing for team GBR in past seasons and we hope that the support we are able to offer will help current and future youngsters achieve similar success.  Equiom place particular emphasis on supporting local children’s supporting initiatives and we have been extremely impressed by the passion and drive the MYSS and its young members have demonstrated.”

Jenni Kneale of MYSS speaking on the sponsorship with Equiom said “Receiving support from local businesses like Equiom is vital to our ongoing success.  Equiom’s kind support will ensure we can continue training youngsters to a standard that they can compete at National and World Championship level with the GBR RS Tera squad in the UK.  We would like to thank them for their generosity and shared passion in supporting young sporting talent.”
