John Grose Celebrates Geely Auto UK Sponsorship of Team England Ahead of Glasgow 2026

As the official Geely Auto UK retailer in Ipswich, we're proud to support Geely Auto UK’s new partnership with Team England as the national team prepares for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, taking place from 23 July to 2 August 2026.

Geely Auto UK has been announced as Official Automotive Partner to Team England, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to performance, innovation and community engagement. As part of this nationwide partnership, we'll be playing a role in the celebrations which will include sporting activity and events.

For customers and communities in Ipswich, this means seeing Geely Auto UK at the heart of one of the biggest sporting moments of 2026 — supporting athletes, inspiring participation and showcasing the next generation of electric mobility.

As part of the partnership, electric Geely EX5 models will support Team England’s leg of the King’s Baton Relay from 26–31 May 2026, transporting the Baton, athletes and guests as it travels across the country. The relay will include high-profile community moments, including the campaign’s flagship Beach Clean event, highlighting sustainability and positive social impact.

Geely Auto UK is also supporting Team England’s National Weekend of Sport in July 2026 — a nationwide open weekend delivered with leisure partner GLL. The initiative will offer free access to more than 280 sports and leisure facilities, encouraging around 350,000 people to try new sports and get active.

We'll will be celebrating these moments with in-showroom activity, community engagement and social media content to help connect local people with Team England’s journey to Glasgow.

“We’re incredibly proud to represent Geely Auto UK locally and to support Team England as they prepare for the Commonwealth Games,” said Ryan Goldsmith, Sales Manager at Geely Ipswich | John Grose. “This partnership reflects the values we share with our customers in Ipswich — ambition, progress and community spirit. It’s fantastic to see Geely playing such a visible role on a national sporting stage.”
