FOR the second successive year, Hendy Honda is sponsoring the Wessex Swim School and providing founder, Chris Rees, with a vehicle.

He started the school six years ago at Winchester and it has since gone on to greater things, now operating in Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire and Oxfordshire.

Hendy Group used-car sales director, Simon Palmer, said the company was delighted to be supporting such a proactive and successful school.

“Chris and his team teach people of all ages and of all abilities and do a fantastic job,’’ he said.

“With its expanding network of pools, we are delighted that Chris will be able to travel in style in a Honda Civic from Hendy Group.’’ Chris said he was delighted to be working with the Hendy Group once again.

“Our aim is to create high-quality affordable tuition and we actively promote swimming, both as a vital life skill as well as a sport,’’ said Chris, who now employs 48 swimming teachers.

“We have been steadily expanding the business and the Honda Civic is proving invaluable travelling between the venues and searching for suitable new pools to include in our programme.’’
