Bounty Boat Expedition

In order to raise awareness of MND, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s and to raise funds for the Sheffield Institute Foundation and SITraN, the building that is currently under construction in Sheffield that will be dedicated to research in to those neurological disorders, SIF patron Stuart Keane enlisted the support of Don McIntyre and his Bounty Boat Expedition and when the organisers of the Southampton Boat Show donated a prime stand space, Stuart jumped at the opportunity to bring both causes in to the public eye.

The Bounty Boat Expedition is due to take place in April 2010 and will attempt to follow in the footstep ofCaptain William Bligh when he was castadrift from the Bounty, following theMutiny on April 28th 1798.
Australian Don McIntyre, Englishman Mike Perham, who at 17 recently became the youngest sailor to sail single handed around the world, and two others will set off for the 4000 mile journey from Tonga to Timor in an 7.5m long open boat - with not enough food - no charts - and no toilet paper. Can they survive on of the greatest open boat journeys in Maritime History? Their odds are far higher than if you were a sufferer of MND.
They are making this journey to raise funds for the Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience (SITraN). This landmark initiative will create the world’s first, stand alone institute dedicated to bringing an end to MND.

Don is also conducting the search for the third and fourth crew members to accompany him and Mike on the epic journey – are you up to the challenge?

With the support of the Southampton Boat Show organisers who donated the stand space, Warrens Display who designed and built the stand itself, LiteStructures who loaned the rigging structure and C3 Imaging who printed the large format PVC mesh banners, The Bounty Boat stand has been a triumph and has generated a huge amount of interest amongst visitors and co-exhibitors alike.

Don McIntyre and Stuart Keane expressed their heartfelt thanks to all supporters, without whom the Bounty Boat presence would not have been as impactful or as successful.  Don is confident that he will find strong contenders for the remaining places on his crew and Stuart and he are both extremely hopeful that the Bounty Boat Expedition will continue to generate a huge amount of interest worldwide, both in the expedition and in SITraN and research in to MND, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Yet another success for Warrens at the 2009 Parkex exhibition…

Briefed to handle the job of three stands this year, Warrens successfully designed, coordinated and constructed the trio of stands on behalf of The British Parking Association, ACS and Scheidt & Bachmann.

Having previously worked with names such as Excel Parking, Warrens was more the ready to take on the challenge.

With eye-catching features such a bespoke curved canopy for Scheidt & Bachmann, a sharp contemporary design for ACS and a simple yet appealing construction for BPA, Warrens delivered yet again, meeting briefs, working to timescale, and of course keeping to budgets!

"I was really pleased with the service we received from you, especially compared with the service we received last year – a completely different level. The service was excellent and the stand was much admired. Thank you very much. "
