Exciting new sponsorship

The British Grooms Association (BGA), is delighted to announce their new partnership with NAF.

NAF is the leading manufacturer of equine supplements and care products, they are the only Official Supplier of these products to the British Equestrian Teams. 

Working closely with many grooms, including BGA Ambassador, Alan Davies, NAF are the perfect match for the BGA.

Lucy Katan, Executive Director of the BGA said;

“We are excited to have another mega equestrian brand supporting the groom’s professional association. Our collaboration with NAF will assist us further in our mission to educate grooms on the crucial issue of Clean Sport.” 

 

Working together the BGA and NAF will raise awareness via bespoke education of the importance of only using products that meet the requirements of BETA NOPS Assurance Schemes – which all of NAFs are, as they guarantee full traceability on all the natural ingredients utilised in their products.

 

“We are thrilled to be working in partnership with the British Grooms Association, it is our pleasure to recognise the important work the BGA does by championing one of the most important professions within our industry. Together we will continue our efforts in highlighting how important it is to use safe products within our sport.” Isla Boxall-Loomes, the UK marketing manager for NAF.

 

Everyone at the BGA is excited to be partnered with NAF and looks forward to working together.

 

The British Grooms Association is for everyone.
