L-R: Grace Garbett with Alasdair Hobbs
A Shropshire business is throwing its support behind a Telford-based ice hockey player who is hoping to secure a place in the Team GB squad.
Grace Garbett, 19, currently plays for Solihull Vixens women’s team and Altrincham Aces in the National Ice Hockey League – one of only a handful of women competing in the professional men’s game.
Human Results, employment law and HR advisors in Telford, are sponsoring Grace to help with ongoing costs as she develops her career as a professional athlete.
Alasdair Hobbs, managing director of Human Results, said Grace was an inspiring young woman who had already achieved great things in such a competitive sport.
“We are delighted to be supporting Grace as she grows her career,” he said. “She has already been selected for Team GB and is hoping to continue her upward trajectory next season.
“Human Results is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year so it seems a fitting time to give something back to an inspiring local woman like Grace – we look forward to watching her sporting career flourish over the coming years.”
Grace said the support of businesses like Human Results was vital to enable her to continue with her hockey career.
She said: “My sport is entirely self-funded, which means I need to cover training and travel costs of more than £400 a month.
“I am extremely grateful to Alasdair and the team at Human Results for their support, which will be a great help towards meeting those ongoing costs.”
Human Results is celebrating 20 years in business in 2023 and is raising money for charity by hosting a variety of events.
The next event, a charity bingo night, takes place at Oxley Park Golf Club on October 19 and tickets are available at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/human-results-20th-anniversary-charity-bingo-night-registration-679452218877 or by emailing [email protected].
All proceeds will go to The Haven, which helps women and children affected by domestic abuse, Maninplace, which supports homeless people in Telford, Access to Business, which provides help for people looking for employment, and Telford and Wrekin CVS, which supports charities and organisations in the area.
