Ocean Oarsmen Ready To Make Waves!
United Kingdom
Preparations are in full swing for the Trading Estate’s intrepid adventurers, the “Ocean Oarsmen”, who in December this year will be embarking on an incredible voyage to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean from the Canary Islands to Antigua.
Henry Eastick from Ragus Sugars and Ben Cornwell from children’s entertainment centre Brickies Club are hoping to raise £50,000 for the Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice. The duo is appealing to the local business community to follow SEGRO’s lead in supporting their incredible challenge, with a range of sponsorship opportunities available.
Further details can be found on Henry and Ben's website at www.oceanoarsmen.com or by contacting them directly at hello@oceanoarsmen.com
