Partners
Team Helmut has some very special friends indeed.
Without the generous support and assistance of our many partners and supporters we’d never complete a single challenge or raise a single penny for good causes.
River and Mercantile:
River and Mercantile is a new long only investment management boutique.
The business was incorporated in 2006 as a Limited Liability Partnership with significant management interest. The cornerstone investor is Pacific Investments which is owned by Sir John Beckwith. Our objective is simple - to provide market leading returns for our clients.
Fortress Fund:
The Fortress International Fund Ltd is a BVI based Professional Investor Fund. The Fund’s objective is to achieve long term capital growth through investments in American traded life policies, or to be more, Senior Life Settlements. Typically the lives insured are in their late 70s or 80s. The Fund aims to accurately predict the investment yield of a pool of such policies by purchasing the death benefits through an actuarial model.
Mountain Hardwear:
Team Helmut are very excited to announce that Mountain Hardwear UK has agreed to supply us with all the essential cold weather kit for our YAU challenge. MHW, founded in 1993, has rapidly become recognised as the World’s leading high performance apparel brand designed for hardcore mountaineers, skiers, climbers, explorers & adventurers who demand the very best kit for the toughest environments. MHW sponsor over 20 top athletes to provide real-world challenges to their product designers and to conduct product testing in extreme conditions. MHW also believes that it’s important to support people who are committed to pushing their personal limits while pursuing adventure in the outdoors. Team Helmut has endorsed the MHW brand for many years, regularly using a variety of MHW garments for training & Adventure Racing competition.
Polar:
Polar are the world’s leading manufacturer of personal heart rate monitors. They have been a long time supporter of our adventure challenges from the Marathon des Sables through to the Sport Relief 330 mile Super Cycle. Without the use of their exceptional equipment, the training, preparation and completion of our endurance races would be hugely hindered. We have used Polar equipment since 1997 and have tested them to their limits from the desert through to the arctic. They have become as vital as our shoes!
AMG is the UK’s leading owner and distributor of an impressive portfolio of premier footwear, outdoor and snow brands, each with their own unique brand identity and product range.
The combined offering features a vast selection of products including fashion footwear, lifestyle footwear, water sports footwear, tents, sleeping bags, rucsacs, travel luggage, camping gear, outdoor clothing, skiing equipment, cooking gear, food, and much more.
‘Profeet are proud to get behind the huge challenge that Team Helmut are geared up for conquering in typical great stride. It is fantastic to be able to get behind a group of motivated people who together set the toughest standards for personal goal setting and training on top of fund raising to support others. We will be with them every step of the way to help make the goal happen from feet up support!’
