Matrix supports Olympic star in the making

Through its Community Support Fund, utility infrastructure specialist Matrix Group is sponsoring Olympic canoe hopeful Aimee Collins as she set her sights on the 2032 Brisbane Games.

Aged 18 years old, Aimee has been working to perfect her sport since she was 10. And now thanks to her uncle, Matrix Group SHEQ Director Simon Spencer, she’s been given a financial boost to help cover the costs of her equipment and accommodation as she travels to qualifying competitions across the UK.

Rob Sparkes, CEO of Matrix Group, said: “Our Community Support Fund provides an opportunity for us help local charities, events and individuals through nominations by our employees. It embodies our values of ‘Teamwork’ and ‘Integrity’ and in Aimee’s case, celebrates her determination to achieve her ambitions.”

Aimee has recently qualified in the 2023 Junior World Championship and Junior European Championship, with the latter resulting in a Silver Medal as part of the Junior Women’s C1 Team.

Aimee added: “I’m grateful for the support I’ve received from Matrix Group. The new Racer ST tops they’ve sponsored are a much-needed addition to my kit and the funding they’ve provided for covering my accommodation costs will help with my pre-race preparation and post-race recovery.”

Matrix Group wishes Aimee every success on her journey to 2032 and will continue to cheer her along the way.
