Meet My Partners

Mission Statement

 

My journey in the Golden Globe Race is about more than just a solo circumnavigation; it is a testament to the shared values of resilience, innovation, and service.

This campaign is powered by a unique coalition of partners who represent the very best of British industry and charitable spirit. Together, we are bridging the gap between elite sporting endurance and real-world impact. By collaborating with technology leaders like Atos, Dell, Civica, and Pointwire, we demonstrate the importance of precision and agility in high-stakes environments. Simultaneously, our partnership with Teledyne Qioptiq highlights the cutting-edge engineering required to face the world’s most formidable oceans.

Beyond the technical challenge, this campaign highlights the support available to the armed forces community. Through the vital work of Army Sport, Team Forces, and the Royal British Legion, we are promoting mental wellbeing, physical courage, and the "will to win" that defines our service personnel. My mission is to carry these values around the globe, proving that with the right support and unwavering grit, no horizon is out of reach.
