A word from our sponsors...

This week saw the sponsorship go sky high with a flurry of activity in the past few days. We've since confirmed a few corporate sponsors which I would like to thank personally and on behalf of the team with a few words here. Yeah it's blatant advertising but you know what? They were nice enough to give us donations and equipment so the least I can do is drop a few names:

1. Northern Marine Management (http://www.nmm-stena.com/): Thank you for your donation, shirts and help with getting the van sorted. It has helped ease both Tom and my nerves massively knowing that this has been sorted, Thanks also goes to Bob Hossack for ensuring this was done.
2. Brantas (http://www.brantas.co.uk/): Thank you for your donation, and for your help with buying spares and extra shirts for the guys! With my luck with punctures and attempts at breaking the world record for self propelled flight we'll need those spares!
3. Iceland (http://www.iceland.co.uk/): No, not the country. Thanks, and whilst we wont be able to shop in iceland, we will expect loads of superstrong bags as part of our deal to store the plentiful supplies we will be taking.
4. Concordia Maritime (http://www.concordia-maritime.se/) Thank you for supplying safety equipment and clothing as well as (I believe) a donation to the charity. It will help cut down on the amount of gear we need to transport from Scotland.

Now, I know I have not yet included Stena Bulk (http://www.stenabulk.com/) in this list yet, but thats because I am not aware of the full details of their sponsorship and don't want to say anything thats not true.
