2009 Sponsors
Sweaty Betty
We love Sweaty Betty and all their lovely kit, so we are delighted that they have chosen to work with The Sisterhood as ambassadors for their brand. We will be ‘test driving’ their clothes and helping them spread the Sweaty Betty word!
2008 Sponsors
Collins Stewart
Collins Stewart became our title event sponsor early in 2007. They are the largest offshore stockbroker and specialise in stockbroking and investment management services. Their sense of fun and their desire to get behind the spirit with which we attack our missions (be they social or physical!) has been awesome. Without their financial support none of this would be happening. We also had the pleasure of taking part in the Jersey Dragon Boat Regatta… where we spectacularly crashed!
Aspect Capital
Aspect Capital is a quantitative hedge fund based in London managing assets from a global institutional investor base. Aspect was established in 1997 and has launched a range of quantitative programmes across multiple asset classes including managed futures, fixed income, currencies, European and Japanese equities as well as a multi-strategy programme. Their Head of HR is Sisterhood star and now mum-to-be Amanda Cherry!
Qveen
Being very feminine girls we are delighted that fashion label Qveen have sponsored the Sisters. Morton from Qveen is also the techno brains behind this website too… so any spelling mistakes…blame him!! Check out the beautiful silk Qveen dresses that the Sisterhood all wore to their launch party last year. Qveen can be found at 132 Ebury Street, London, SW1W9QQ
2007 Sponsors
Scion
Scion Films has produced, co-produced and/or provided financial backing for some of the most creatively rewarding, critically acclaimed and commercially successful films of recent years. They often partner the likes of Universal, Focus and Miramax and have recently had huge success with United 93, The Constant Gardener and Atonement. They also employ Sister Jo Rogers!
As well as providing crucial financial backing, Scion have used their contacts to provide a walk on parts for our charity auctions and done charity screenings for our charities – how cool is that?
EDS
EDS provides a broad portfolio of business and technology solutions to help its clients worldwide improve their business performance. Charles E Cox (Regional Vice President, MEA and UKCG&T of EDS) has got behind our crazy capers and has been incredibly generous, on behalf of EDS, in supporting our cross channel mission and charity fundraising efforts. He obviously has great taste as he also employs Sister Lisa Marriage!
Pindar
The electronic print and media company, Pindar, may not be a name you know but you no doubt use some of their products as they are leading experts in catalogue printing and production. Clients include Argos, Avon and Yellow Pages. Andrew Pindar (Chairman) is renowned for his support of professional sailors so the girls were delighted when he agreed to support our Channel crossing by providing his 116ft ex-fishing trawler (now used to support their sailing team and as a platform for corporate entertaining). The Hatherleigh will be our cross channel support vessel and we are desperately hoping that we won’t need to utilise her onboard crane!
Nookie
Nookie are the coolest company we know! Suppliers of technical and leisure wear for the water-sports industry, specialising in canoeing and kayaking, they were the perfect product partner to back our little paddle across the Channel. The Sisters love the sexy kit and the fact that it won’t give us any chafe as it is designed for paddlers is a real bonus!
Mike at Nineteen Creative
Mike has gone beyond the call of duty in his work on the design of our logos for both 2007 and 2008. We probably drove him crazy with our requests but the end product is exceptional. He is a truly talented designer and we can highly recommend him!
G. H. Mumm Champagne
Thanks go to Mumm for supplying Champagne for our sponsors reception and for our post race ‘champagne spraying moments’ on the beach when we reached France and the post race party.
Maui Jim Sunglasses were born on the Hawaiian Island of Maui and have remained a very family orientated company ever since. Paddling the Channel will be very harsh on the eyes so it is important to have the very best polarized sunglasses for protection, comfort and visibility. Maui Jim sunglasses are the choice of many top sailors for this reason so we are very fortunately to have them as a sponsor. “We support Children’s Charities around the World and we are thrilled to offer a little support to the wonderful gals . They have agreed to, briefly, put down the Pimms and pick up a paddle! Marvellous.”
Atlas Flags and Banners Ltd, Plymouth
We love Colin at Atlas! Colin has been so generous. He has produced vinyl stickers to make our boat look beautiful, not to mention very professional. We really appreciated the speed at which he helped us out and the high quality of his work. Thanks Colin
Quintin Boat Club
Thanks go to all at QBC who kindly donated space at their rowing club for us to keep our boat and kit. It was the perfect home for us, not least because the bar stocks great beer!
