Andy Murray Partners with Albert Bartlett to Promote Healthy Living
Former world No. 1 tennis champion Sir Andy Murray has entered an exciting new partnership with Albert Bartlett, a potato company based in Airdrie, Scotland. At 38 years old, Murray will be the public ambassador for the brand’s frozen and chilled potato products through a long-term collaboration aimed at encouraging active lifestyles and nutritional balance across the UK.
Founded in 1948, Albert Bartlett sees this partnership as a union of "two Scottish-born British icons with shared community values." Murray, who has been a longtime supporter of the family-run business, will leverage his athletic influence to promote healthier living while marketing the company’s potato offerings to consumers nationwide.
Murray’s connection to Albert Bartlett goes back over a decade, as the company has been supplying potatoes to his luxury Cromlix hotel near his hometown of Dunblane. This collaboration highlights the company’s commitment to quality and community, alongside Murray’s dedication to promoting a balanced diet and active living.
“I was fortunate to have access to top-notch facilities and nutritional guidance throughout my career,” said Murray. “I’m thrilled to partner with Albert Bartlett to emphasize the importance of maintaining a balanced diet and an active lifestyle in communities across the UK.”
The three-time Grand Slam winner hopes this initiative will inspire people to engage in sports at all levels throughout their lives. Alex Bartlett, CEO of the company, praised Murray’s ability to connect with audiences, noting, “Andy has inspired his home nation and sports fans globally, delivering historic wins at Wimbledon, the US Open, and two Olympic gold medals. He is the perfect ambassador to motivate the nation to embrace healthy eating and active living with our delicious, locally grown produce.”
This announcement comes after Murray’s recent professional transitions, including his departure from coaching Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic earlier this year. As he steps into this new role, Murray’s commercial portfolio is expanding, having also been named the first-ever brand ambassador for Walker’s Shortbread in July.
With this partnership, Murray and Albert Bartlett are set to make a significant impact on public health and wellness, encouraging everyone to enjoy the benefits of an active lifestyle and nutritious eating.
