BEC Group supports the Best of British

 We are thrilled to announce that we shall be supporting the Best of British South Pole expedition. Fortnum and Masons are supplying the hamper at the end so we are going to lend the best of British engineering knowledge to help the team create a new type of tent.


The brief from Manley Hopkinson, Team leader of the expedition (bottom right) has been to help prototype a a tent that can withstand the conditions in the Antarctic whilst being lightweight and versatile enough to repair if the 'the worst comes to the worst'.

The team (pictured right) will need all the help they can get as the walk 460 miles unaided and unassisted. They are challenging for Scott's record which is currently held by the pesky Norwegians. They need sponsorship to make the attempt so we are helping by developing the new tent which will hopefully help them achieve their goals.
