Share
Karakal are proud to announce a new two-year partnership with England Squash that sees us becoming their Official Grip Partner.
This exciting collaboration reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting players at every level of the game, from grassroots beginners to the world’s squash elite.
As the world’s No.1 PU Super Grip supplier and one of the last remaining British-owned squash brands, we know the importance of providing players with equipment they can trust. Our grips are renowned for their quality, reliability, and on-court performance, and this partnership will allow us to put them directly into the hands of more players across the country.
Through this partnership, Karakal will:
- Invest in grassroots squash – backing initiatives and competitions that inspire new players.
- Support the junior circuit – providing grips, prizes, and goodie bags to reward and encourage the next generation.
- Give back to the community – with regular exclusive giveaways and prizes for England Squash members.
Steve Gallienne, General Manager, Karakal Worldwide Ltd said
“Karakal is one of the last remaining British-owned squash brands and the world’s No.1 PU Super Grip supplier. Partnering with England Squash as Official Grip Partner is a natural fit, helping us support today’s players and inspire future champions.”
This announcement comes at a pivotal moment for squash as the sport prepares for its Olympic debut in 2028. Karakal are proud to stand alongside England Squash, sharing the vision of growing participation and celebrating the game at every level.
Karakal players are already proving their dominance at the highest level. Just a few days ago, Joel Makin and Tesni Murphy, both Karakal-sponsored athletes, captured the Men’s and Women’s British National titles, showcasing the strength of our team and the performance of our equipment on the biggest domestic stage.
With elite players and coaches such as World No.4 Joel and England Development Head Coach Tim Vail among our ambassadors, Karakal is uniquely positioned to champion the sport, reward its players, and inspire the champions of tomorrow.
We look forward to working closely with England Squash to create opportunities, reward participation, and help the game thrive.
