Sponsorship Opportunities Now Open

I am opening sponsorship opportunities for my next major challenge: a solo, unsupported expedition to the South Pole in late 2025.

‍

This will be a 900 km journey across one of the harshest environments on Earth, with temperatures plunging below -40°C, relentless winds, and weeks of complete isolation.

‍

The expedition is part of my bid to complete the Explorer’s Grand Slam – climbing the highest peak on each continent and skiing to both Poles. Fewer than 75 people have ever achieved this.

‍

This is not only a personal challenge but also an opportunity to raise awareness and vital funds for veterans’ mental health charities, including Always a Rifleman. By becoming a sponsor, your brand will stand alongside a story of resilience, endurance, and service.

Why Partner?

The South Pole Solo expedition is expected to gain significant attention in national and international media, with coverage across adventure publications, veterans’ networks, and mainstream outlets. As a partner, your brand will feature throughout expedition updates, global press coverage, and live speaking events after the journey. Sponsorship is more than logo placement—it’s about being part of a powerful story that inspires audiences worldwide.

‍

This is a rare opportunity to align with:

• Resilience and performance under pressure – qualities transferable to business and leadership.‍
• Authentic adventure storytelling – real-world content for your brand’s channels.‍
• Charity impact – visible support for veterans and their families.

The Bigger Picture

This expedition is about more than reaching the South Pole. It is about raising £100,000 for veterans’ mental health and shining a light on the struggles many face after service. Every pound raised helps provide vital support for those living with PTSD, depression, and the long-term effects of conflict. By standing with me, you’ll also be standing with them.

‍

The South Pole Solo is one of the ultimate endurance tests—hauling a 100kg sled, battling altitude, whiteouts, and weeks of solitude. But the legacy it can leave goes beyond exploration: it can change lives.
