BLADES STRENGTHEN RANDOX PARTNERSHIP TO THE ACADEMY
United recently announced a further
strengthening of their principal partnership
with Randox.
The healthcare giants have agreed to become
naming right partners of the widely-acclaimed
Sheffield United Academy.
Located at Shirecliffe, it is the base of the
men’s, women’s and academy teams. The
facility, since opening its doors in the early
2000s, has seen the likes of Kyle Walker, Harry
Maguire, David Brooks, Dominic Calvert-Lewin
and Aaron Ramsdale all progress through the
academy ranks.
Established in 1982 in Northern Ireland,
Randox is the largest healthcare diagnostics
company from the UK and Ireland. In 2019
Randox manufactured over four billion tests and
operated in over 145 countries. The company
employs more than 2,500 staff, including more
than 450 research scientists and engineers,
with key facilities located in Co. Antrim and
Co. Donegal.
Randox Managing Director Dr Peter
FitzGerald CBE said: “We are very excited
for the opportunity to extend our partnership
by aligning Randox with the Sheffield United
Academy. With almost 40 years of experience
in the manufacture of world-leading medical
diagnostics and comprehensive health check
and sports science services, Randox is well
positioned to assist in the development of the
health, wellbeing and performance of these
elite athletes. We look forward to working with
the academy and to lending our expertise to
make further developments in cutting-edge
sports science.”
Paul Reeves, the club’s head of commercial,
said: “This is a significant further investment from
Randox and a long-term commitment to our next
generation of players, both male and female.
The academy plays an integral part within the
club, and it goes without question the rising
importance of developing players of all ages to
continue to compete on a global scale. We would
like to thank Dr FitzGerald and his colleagues for
their valued contribution.”
Paul added: “The newly-named Randox Health
Academy has some exciting prospects on the
horizon with the likes of Daniel Jebbison, Femi
Seriki and Iliman Ndiaye all making their Premier
League debuts at the end of the 20/21 season.”
