The Queen’s Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Thomas Lyte have entered into an exclusive five-year partnership with the ATP, global governing body of men’s professional tennis.
As Official Trophy and Silverware Supplier to the Nitto ATP Finals, the bespoke luxury and sporting trophies company will design, create, restore and maintain trophies and silverware for the ATP, including crafting new replicas and awards for players. The partnership cements and extends Thomas Lyte’s affiliation with the ATP, which began in 2009 when the company was commissioned to produce a series of contemporary new trophies in sterling silver.
