HAIX sponsors Team GB at British Firefighter Challenge 2021

As the official footwear sponsor of Team GB, HAIX is demonstrating its commitment to providing functional and protective footwear for Fire and Rescue Service professionals ahead of the highly anticipated competition.

The 2021 edition of the annual sporting event, which takes place at the Fire Service College in Moreton-in-Marsh on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 October, will see firefighters from around the world compete in a series of gruelling strength and endurance challenges, including a three-storey tower stair ascent and descent in full PPE gear, an angus fire hose drag and the casualty rescue of a 70 kg dummy.

Simon Ash, sales manager for HAIX UK, commented: “The last British Firefighter Challenge raised around £7,000 for The Fire Fighters Charity, in turn helping operational or retired firefighters and their families with physical, financial or mental health support. We want to assist where we can, supporting Team GB and acting as the official footwear sponsor.”

HAIX’s continual commitment to quality footwear for practising firefighters has been well received by Team GB. Event organiser John Gregory explained: “The Team GB members love their HAIX Fire Eagle boots. These lightweight boots have been the ideal solution for keeping Team GB members comfortable and agile during their training ahead of this year’s competition.”

As well as providing Team GB with footwear, HAIX will be giving away various goodies at the event. Further, the full range of Fire Eagle boot sizes will be on display such that visitors can see for themselves why Team GB competitors wear them for competition and training.
