Ace sponsor
Ace of Blades are delighted that we are being supported by Barratt Developments plc, the country’s largest and best known housebuilder.
Barratt is a proud supporter of adventure and personal endeavour, having previously sponsored successful world records by such people as James Ketchell, and Hari Budha Magar, the first ever double above-knee amputee to climb Everest.
They also sponsored a team of Royal Engineers in the 2021-2022 Atlantic race. Barratt is really keen to promote gender diversity, particularly coming from a traditionally male industry such as housebuilding. The Ace of Blades crew is pleased to support this by promoting women taking part in endurance challenges, and promoting pursuing personal goals and normalising career “breaks” for reasons other than parental leave.
