Barrett Steel announces sponsorship of its own budding sport bike racer/bs072 / 11.08.15

Liam Dale, National Sales Executive at Barrett Steel, has been helped onto the first major rung of the ladder to win international sport bike racing with sponsorship from the Bradford-based steel stockholders.
The sponsorship will allow 22-year old Liam to take his ACU (Auto Cycle Union) racing licence in October 2015 in readiness for competition in the No Limits Racing 600 Newcomers League next year.

In the next couple of months his Honda CBR 600 RR 2010 plate sport bike will display the green, black and white branding of the Barrett Steel logo.

"I've been taking part in motocross since I was 11 and have had road bikes for the last two years," explains Liam. "I've always loved watching the BSB (British Superbike) on TV and at the track and Barrett's sponsorship means I can take it to the next level, joining a race club and winning more races."

James Barrett, Barrett Steel Group MD, explains how Liam's enthusiasm and will to win shine through: "Barrett recognises the challenges Liam will face and, with his determination to succeed, we look forward to seeing his progress in the next few years."

Describing his passion for the sport, Liam says: "I've always been competitive with a desire to win. In the future I want to prove that I've been worth the investment and dream of representing my company on TV as well as racing in the Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) one day."
