MEET OUR HEADLINE SPONSOR: BEGBIES TRAYNOR
David, Richard and Julian Pitts of Begbies Traynor, with their newly-named boat Brizo.
The name Brizo, refers to an ancient Greek goddess who was known as the protector of mariners, sailors and fisherman - and was chosen by the Leeds office of Begbies Traynor.
We are thrilled to introduce our headline sponsor, Begbies Traynor, for our upcoming rowing challenge.
Begbies Traynor is a leading independent business rescue and recovery specialist that has been supporting businesses through their most challenging times since 1989.
