Please allow me to introduce myself—my name is Dave Budge, and I am

a proud firefighter with Royal Berkshire Fire & Rescue Service (RBFRS),

based in Bracknell. Over the past 17 years, I have dedicated myself to

protecting our community, a role that requires not only mental resilience

but also peak physical performance. To maintain this level of fitness, I

regularly compete in various firefighter physical challenges across

Europe, testing my skills and conditioning against the best in the field.

I am reaching out to explore a potential sponsorship opportunity for an

exciting milestone in my career as a firefighter athlete. After a decade

winning multiple Gold, Silver & Bronze medals at events all over Europe,

a 2 x time British Champion and recently winning Gold at the European

Championships in the FireFit Challenge in June in Poland, I have

qualified to compete at the World Championships in Nashville,

Tennessee, this October.

Having secured a very generous sponsership all the way from Western Australia ('Your Auto Service' you legends!!!) I am still trying to raise the last remaining £1000 to get me to the competition. 

Any and all funds raised above my target will be donated to a cause close to my heart, The Fire Fighters Charity. Who since 1943 have been supporting Fire Fighters and Fire Fighters families through bereavement and ill health.

If your Business or Brand are interested in sponsorship, I would be happy to offer the following in return:

• Branding Opportunities: Your logo can be prominently displayed on

my gear, including my uniform and equipment.

• Social Media Promotion: I will regularly mention and highlight your

support on my social media platforms, where I engage with a

dedicated following of firefighting professionals and enthusiasts—

@db_personal_training on Instagram.

• Event Coverage: Your sponsorship will be acknowledged in any

media coverage or interviews I participate in during the World

Championships.

• Public Engagement: I am open to joint public appearances or

demonstrations, emphasising our partnership and your commitment to

supporting first responders.
