We’d like to say a huge congratulations to the entire England cricket team on a job well done. They may have left it to the last Test to snatch victory and reclaim the Ashes but that only added to the excitement of this sensational summer series. And as our 12 years of sponsorship draws to a close, we’re thrilled to have been part of such a historic win and incredible Ashes experience.
