McGill and Partners and GB Snowsport announce bold new partnership ahead of the Winter Olympics

McGill and Partners, the independent global specialty insurance and reinsurance broker, is proud to announce its partnership with GB Snowsport, the national governing body for elite British snowsports, as the team prepares for the upcoming Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Milan Cortina in February and March 2026.

The announcement comes as GB Snowsport celebrates its most successful World Cup season to date, with record results across multiple disciplines. As the new competition season begins, it will support Britain’s top Snowsport athletes towards the Olympic and Paralympic stages. 

The partnership brings together two organisations that have been built on bold performance and see disruption as a force for progress. McGill and Partners was founded on the principles of being different by design and has always celebrated a high-performance mindset. Both McGill and Partners and GB Snowsport are aligned in their belief that by championing difference and bringing together top talent as one team with a shared purpose, success will follow 

As a specialist insurance and reinsurance broker, McGill and Partners is used to dealing with complexity and finding innovative solutions for its clients’ most challenging and complex needs. It has always been highly focused – in the clients it serves, the partners it works with and the talent it hires to drive its business forward. The partnership with GB Snowsport is no different and reflects the same commitment.

GB Snowsport manages and develops the programmes of world class British skiers and snowboarders across the 12 Olympic and Paralympic disciplines. The organisation selects, manages and leads the British teams to international events, promotes participation in the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) and World Para Snowsport disciplines, and provides opportunities for athletes to achieve their full potential as individuals and as a team. It also develops up-and-coming talent and nurtures those athletes who are already showing themselves to be able to perform on the world stage, a critical role in the ongoing success of British snowsports.

The collaboration will be brought to life through a series of activations including The Edge Series, a new content platform exploring the parallels between sport and business such as risk, resilience, innovation and talent.

Steve McGill CBE, Co-founder and CEO of McGill and Partners, said: “This partnership reflects everything we stand for. Bold thinking, exceptional performance and the courage to lead in complex environments. GB Snowsport is a natural fit for our brand and culture, and together we look forward to making a real impact in both sport and business.”

“Whether it’s navigating complex risk or supporting elite and emerging athletes, the shared vision is to support resilience, foster innovation, and champion those who pursue excellence.”

Vicky Gosling, CEO at GB Snowsport said: “We’re extremely excited to be going into the new season in partnership with McGill and Partners, and really look forward to working with them over the coming year.”

“This is a partnership where the shared values between our two organisations are really clear, and what we’re looking to achieve on the snow in the next twelve months fits brilliantly with the ethos and culture that McGill and Partners demonstrate in their business. At GB Snowsport, we believe firmly that we are stronger as one team, and we’re delighted that we get to welcome McGill and Partners into that team ahead of a year that has the potential to be one of the most exciting in British snowsport history.”
