Burberry Continues Partners With Team Qhubeka NextHash For The Tour Of Britain 2021

Today, Burberry announced its continued partnership with Team Qhubeka NextHash, a purpose-led, high-performance UCI WorldTour cycling team who compete to raise awareness and funds for Qhubeka – a South African not-for-profit organisation.

The collaboration was originally announced in June earlier this year, revealing Burberry as the first luxury fashion brand to partner with a Tour de France team, an alliance which extends to the Tour of Britain 2021.

Burberry and Team Qhubeka NextHash are united by their shared values of pushing boundaries, exploring new space and landscapes to create possibilities and challenging expectations. Throughout Stage Five in the North West and Stage Seven alongside the Scottish Borders, Burberry will host a series of unexpected mini branded pop-up elements in the heart of the British race, creating an unforgettable atmosphere.

 

The Burberry logo and iconic Thomas Burberry Monogram will feature on Team Qhubeka NextHash’s cycling jerseys as well as tour bicycles and vehicles. The team started their journey in Cornwall on 5 September and finishing in Aberdeen on 12 September.

Team Qhubeka NextHash is a multicultural, diverse team with bases in South Africa, the Netherlands and Italy. There are 19 nationalities represented across its WorldTour and Continental feeder team rosters.

Meaning ‘to move forward’ in Nguni, Qhubeka enables people to earn bicycles through its not-for-profit programmes, which is also being supported by a donation from Burberry.

Qhubeka’s initiatives help students travel to school, healthcare workers access more patients and first responders transport life-saving equipment to those in need. Their purpose-led outlook is underpinned by the spirit of Ubuntu; a celebration of the humanity within us all and connecting with the wider world.
