Barrington Hibbert Associates Announce Multi-Year Partnership Sponsoring British Tennis Talent, Paul Jubb
Barrington Hibbert Associates (BHA) has announced a multi-year partnership with up-and-coming British tennis sensation, Paul Jubb.
The partnership will see BHA provide financial support to Jubb over the next two years, as he continues to progress his playing career at the highest level of professional tennis and become a mainstay on the ATP Tour.
Hull raised Jubb has seven ITF titles, and one ATP Challenger Tour title to his name, and is currently ranked at a career high of 196 in the world. A recipient of the LTA’s Pro Scholarship Programme, he made headlines this summer after receiving a wildcard entry to the Wimbledon Championships and taking the eventual runner-up Nick Kyrgios to a thrilling five-set match in the opening round of the tournament.
Jubb first picked up a tennis racked at the age of five. After his natural talent for the game was spotted by a local tennis coach, he was then coached at the LTA-accredited Nuffield Health Tennis Academy. He went on to win the under 16 Boys Singles title at the LTA British Nationals in 2015 and was later offered a scholarship to study at the University of South Carolina. In 2019, Jubb became the first British player to win the prestigious NCAA Singles National Championship, cementing himself as a player to watch in the years to follow.
Jubb turned pro in April 2020, and is currently represented by 77 Sports Management, the agency founded by former Wimbledon and US Open champion Sir. Andy Murray.
Paul Jubb’s rise comes as the LTA continue to work to make the sport more accessible and inclusive to tennis players at all levels of the game, through a variety of initiatives including the LTA Youth Programme of which Jubb is an ambassador.
Commenting on the partnership Paul Jubb said: “I’m delighted to be partnering with BHA, I’m currently at an incredibly important phase of my career where financial support makes a tangible difference to my development as a professional tennis player, and I’m incredibly grateful for the support and the belief that Michael and the BHA team have in me.”
Michael Barrington-Hibbert, CEO of Barrington Hibbert Associates comments on the partnership: “It is a real honour to support Paul Jubb with this multi-year sponsorship, and we are hoping that this partnership will help provide Paul with the resources to achieve his goals. A core belief of BHA’s is that anyone who demonstrates the talent, determination, and commitment to succeed should be able to do so, regardless of their background. Paul has already demonstrated these qualities in abundance, and we are excited to be on side as he embarks on his amazing journey.”
