WSA Opportunities

Fellow Students!

My aim is to raise £2million over the next 18 months to race nonstop and solo around the world in a 60ft racing yacht in the 2016 Vendée Globe (www.vendeeglobe.org/en). Why? To both satisfy man’s desire to explore and push boundaries and inspire the next generation to pursue their dreams whether sailing related or not.  Currently 5 West, (www.5west.co.uk) who have 12 years in the business, have agreed to support me in this pursuit with suggestions and campaign advice.

I’m looking for support in the following areas from students;

– Business side: business plan development, how to approach businesses in the right way

– Campaign management: proposal tailoring, media proposal and PR

– Market research: why and which previous companies have sponsored in the past, what are the relevant companies and who needs to be contacted

 Those are some suggestions, this list is not exhaustive and would be very happy if anyone is able to help out with anything even if it’s not covered above.
