Golfer Hanson extends partnership with KENNETT

Fri, 18 May 2012 08:09:00 GMT

It gives us great pleasure to announce a continuation and expansion of our partnership with European Challenge Tour golfer, Chris Hanson, which began last year. Chris took the Europro Tour by storm in 2011, winning three times and taking the Order of Merit title by over seven thousand pounds.

Throughout 2012, Chris will be travelling the world wearing Kennett watches on his wrist on numerous continents at various different tournaments, making him a fully global ambassador.

On the deal, Chris said: "It is fantastic to be associated with such an exciting brand who really do have the passion and desire to succeed in such a competitive market. I’m a huge fan of their products and it is fair to say the KENNETT brand sits comfortably in the aspirational golf environment."

Tom Kennett, founder of the Kennett brand, was equally pleased: "Signing Chris as a full ambassador for the brand completes a brilliant week for KENNETT and reaffirms what an exciting period this is for the company at present. We now have a presence in golf and motorsport as our list of sports ambassadors goes from strength to strength. We at KENNETT look forward to building a strong relationship with Chris and wish him all the best for the coming season"

Jake Cook announces Ambassador partnership with Kennett Watches

Tue, 15 May 2012 09:38:00 GMT

On the back of his opening round success in the Dunlop MSA Formula Ford Championship of Great Britain, Jake Cook is pleased to announce a new partnership with Kennett watches.

Jake will be acting as ambassador for the Kennett name, as he strives to continue his strong start to his 2012 campaign. “It’s fantastic to get involved with the Kennett Brand. To be an ambassador is a role I’m honoured to fulfil,” Jake said.

Speaking on behalf of this new partnership, Tom Kennett, founder of the Kennett brand said: “Everything Jake does is of the highest quality, both on and off the track. He's made a great start to the Formula Ford Championship and we are hopeful he will still be at the top of the pile come the end of the season.

“He carries himself well with the media and shares Kennett's commitment to precision and accuracy in his driving, making him a great ambassador for the brand. We wish him the best of luck for the season and hope to play a big part in realising his Formula One dream," he added.

Ingram picked as one to ‘watch’ as Kennett appoints him brand ambassador

Fri, 11 May 2012 11:27:00 GMT

In a sport in which results are invariably determined by split-second precision and minute gaps on the timing screens, Tom Ingram’s newest sponsor should come in ‘handy’ indeed – as the talented High Wycombe-based speed demon has been appointed a brand ambassador for up-and-coming watchmaker Kennett.

Founded and run by young entrepreneur Tom Kennett, in an effort to further broaden its burgeoning popularity and appeal, the ambitious and eponymously-named timepiece company is branching out into the sporting sector.

Kennett has targeted the realms of motor racing, golf and polo amongst other high-end disciplines – and having been impressed by Ingram’s title-winning prowess in both the Ginetta G50 Cup and Ginetta Junior Championship in recent years, the 18-year-old MSA Academy member was an obvious choice to help propel the business into the fast lane.

“To be selected as an ambassador for Kennett is both a tremendous honour and a huge opportunity for me,” enthused the former British Karting Champion, already a winner in his JHR Developments-run Ginetta G55 in the ITV4-televised, British Touring Car Championship-supporting Michelin Ginetta GT Supercup this season.

“Kennett is a relatively new company, but also one that is proving to be extremely successful, and I’ll be proud to be wearing one of their watches on my wrist. Hopefully, we can help to raise each other’s profile and go on to enjoy a long-term relationship together.”

“It is great to have Tom Ingram as an ambassador for the Kennett brand,” concurred Tom Kennett. “His passion for motorsport and other outdoor, high-thrills pursuits is a great fit with our brand. On the track, he has been a serial champion throughout his career and has been rightly rewarded a British Racing Drivers’ Club (BRDC) Rising Star. We think he has the potential to go right to the top of the racing ladder, and we look forward to getting behind him every step of the way.”

KENNETT Launch first watch model for the female marketplace

Sun, 13 May 2012 12:32:00 GMT

KENNETT, One of Britain’s fastest growing lifestyle brands have launched their first watch model for the female market; The Lady Savro Chronograph.

The Kennett Lady Savro Chronograph launches officially this weekend and takes inspiration from the increasing success of the KENNETT Savro watch series; initially only envisaged and released in a male size.

The new ladies model has been scaled down in diameter from a 43.5 MM male size to 34mm to better suit the female wrist and is constructed with a Rose Gold 316 stainless steel case, encapsulating a high grade white mother of pearl dial adorned with Swarovski elements. Driving the watch is a Miyota Chronograph movement – as used in the rest of the existing Kennett fashion watch collections.

“I launched my brand thinking that we would just cater for the male market however we have been increasingly told by the female partners of our male customers that KENNETT watches were wanted in female varieties and in particular a smaller, feminine version of the Savro watch would be very well appreciated. After several months of development we are really pleased with the result of our first ladies model and excited to see how the Lady Savro performs for us – the initial reaction has been tremendous!”

With high ambitions, the Lady Savro will be first of several new models to be released by KENNETT, with one new design due to be launched for female sector each quarter of this year. Developments will include a luxurious ceramic model and a female version of their highly popular Altitude model – currently only available in a larger case.

KENNETT have increasing export sales in over 10 countries and recently started selling online in the UK via ASOS.com. The brand was started by 26 year old Scottish Entrepeneur; Tom Kennett in 2009 and has so far attracted a great deal of celebrity following from the likes of Gerard Butler, Ashley Walters, Iain Wright, Nick Cannon, Scott Maslen.

The female range is set to attract the eye of a number of female stars too – with Alesha Dixon – judge on this year’s Britain’s Got Talent being first female celebrity to have a KENNETT Watch – “We heard from Alesha’s stylist on Twitter last night that she loves her KENNETT Lady Savro watch and we are very pleased to have Alesha as one of our first female celebrity followers.”

The Lady Savro watches are available as chronographs in Rose Gold case and have leather straps in white, brown and black. They have mid sized cases and RRPs upwards of £270.

I was spellbound watching the balls of wool get stretched and spun into rich tapestries, the dense greens, browns, purples and blues mirroring the gorgeous landscapes around us. Over the years on a professional level I have watched as Scotland has emerged as a leading player in design and fashion. No longer a side show, it is central in producing great, unexpected talents who reflect the country's complicated fascinating, romantic and fierce past, and I look forward to seeing who will emerge this year."

KENNETT Ambassador Wayne McCullough to carry Olympic Torch on June 6th

Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:42:00 GMT

KENNETT ambassador & Champion Boxer Wayne McCullough is to carry the Olympic torch for Ireland on June 6th - the ceremonial handover will be from Wayne McCullough to Michael Carruth, two Irish boxers who won silver and gold respectively at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992.

Wayne recently flew back to his native Ireland to help announce that the Cuban Olympic boxing team have chosen Belfast as their training base during the Olympic Games this summer.

Caption: Wayne wearing his KENNETT Challenger Watch at the Titanic construction site in Belfast earlier this month.

The team is among the best in the world having dominated the sport at an amateur level for many years.

Wayne commented on the announcement "Having had a Cuban trainer guide me through my Olympic journey and having met one in the final, I know that the Cubans are traditionally known as the best boxers in the world, so it's an amazing achievement to welcome the world's best boxing team to train here," said McCullough.

About Wayne McCullough

In 1993 Wayne moved to Las Vegas to train under Eddie Futch, who agreed to train him after seeing him at the Olympics. Within a year of turning pro, he had won the North American Boxing Federation title. On 30 July 1995, less than 2½ years since his pro debut, he won the WBC championship by beating the champion Yasuei Yakushiji in Nagoya, Japan to become Ireland's first ever WBC world champion. He was the first (and only) Irish or British fighter to travel to Japan and successfully win a belt.
