Mark Bates Ltd is proud to be the headline sponsor of the National Championships and is excited to be able to support the pinnacle event of the competition calendar. Our partnership with Table Tennis England covers all three National Championships, including all Senior, Cadet & Junior and U10-U13 tournaments until the end of the 2023-24 season.
As well as providing financial support to the sport, we want to be able to provide Table Tennis England, the players, coaches, volunteers and members with the best value insurance policies. For each policy sold an additional donation will be made to Table Tennis England highlighting our commitment to the sport.
Our Commitment
Years Of Support
We are supporting Table Tennis England long term. Covering all Senior, Cadet & Junior and U10-U13 tournaments until the end of the 2025-26 season.
Increase Participation
We hope through providing this support that we will increase the profile and participation of this great game, getting a new generation involved in this family sport.
A Family Connection
Our founder and managing director (Mark Bates) is particularly excited about this opportunity. Not only did his children regularly represent their country, but our business currently employs four ex-national champions.
National Championships
The National Championships are the highlight of the competition calendar, featuring elite athlettes that may go on to represent their country in national tournaments.
How Are We Helping Table Tennis England?
Our funding and support will hopefully push Table Tennis to the next level, helping to give the sport the exposure it deserves. As well supporting TTE at major events such as the National Championships, we will provide additional financial support for each policy sold to a Table Tennis England member.
We also want each of the members to benefit from our services. All Table Tennis England members automatically qualify for some very special discounts, thanks to our exclusive rewards scheme, The Premier Club! Members can also benefit from the excellent insurance policies we provide, getting the best possible cover at an affordable price. In doing so, also knowing that you are giving something back to the sport that you love.
