Dundee firm to supply tech to British Sailing Team

Dundee-based Powercases Scotland has become the official supplier of portable charging devices to the British Sailing Team.

The company will provide athletes and coaches with lithium-ion battery technology to extend the battery life of the cameras, phones and other devices used analysing sailors’ performance.

The products are also used for training analysis by GB Snowsport Park and Pipe Freeski Head Coach, Jamie Matthew, who has coached team members to medals in the Olympics and World Championships.

Powercases Scotland is the Dundee-based European sales agent for the Canadian Powercases brand which makes power solutions for boats, cars, smartphones, tablets and computers.

Peter Waggott, managing director of Powercases Scotland, said: “We’re honoured to become an Official Supplier to The British Sailing Team – supporting our world-leading sailors in their push to maintain a phenomenal record of success.

“It’s great to see the benefits the sailors and coaches are getting already from using our products and I look forward to following their progress up to and into the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.”
