A Brighouse-based glazing and metalworking specialist has moved up a gear after agreeing to sponsor an up-and-coming competitor in the world of motor sport.

Arkoni, based at Armytage Road, will support Thundersport GB Superstock 1000 class motorcyclist David Brook, of Bradford, throughout the 2014 season. David, 27, will compete on his Arkoni Ltd Kawasaki ZX10.

Arkoni managing director and founder Mark Prentice said: “We’re all taking a close interest in his races and all rooting for him. It makes a lot of sense to associate ourselves with a local star with strong prospects for national success.

David said: “This is a perfect partnership that keeps us all on track for success.

“Arkoni has shown more than a keen interest in my future and I respect that and thank them for their support.”

Arkoni, founded in 1991, specialises in making and installing bespoke staircases, balustrades, canopies, entrance areas and fire resistant glazing on behalf of many of the UK’s major construction firms and architectural practices. The company employs 50 people.
