Sponsoring our Rowers: Thanking Our Business Sponsors
Welcome to Aura Print’s Sponsorship Showcase!
If you’re a business looking to support a lifechanging cause while scooping up some great brand exposure, you’re in the right place.
Our team, along with some brave family and friends, are gearing up to row 54 miles across Loch Ness to raise funds for The Howarth Foundation – a charity that gives forgotten members of our society a second chance at life through employment, training and emotional support.
But to make this happen, we need your help.
Right here, we’re showcasing our rowers and their teams, giving you the opportunity to choose the perfect match for your business.
A £150 donation will secure you a business boat, while a £250 donation will allow you to sponsor a specific rower, each providing awesome exposure! What’s better? If you’re feeling the pinch and can’t quite stretch to £150, a £50 donation will get you a mention at the bottom of this page plus a stellar social media shout-out!
The Howarth Foundation: A Private Sector Solution to a Public Sector Problem
As much as we love an adventure, we’re not rowing Loch Ness just for the fun of it. We’re raising funds for The Howarth Foundation, a Cleckheaton-based charity that helps the homeless get back on their feet through worthwhile training and meaningful employment with their Business Building Futures employers.
Now, you might be wondering why we chose Loch Ness – it’s a long way from Yorkshire, that’s for sure. Well, we wanted a challenge that was as unique and as tough as the work The Howarth Foundation does every day. Their mission is to give those easily forgotten members of our society a second chance at life, and we’re honoured to be one of their Business Building Futures partners, supplying them with print resources to support their cause.

Are you ready to play a game of ‘Ink & Oar: The Ultimate Rowing Battle’?

Liam & Millie
Get ready to cheer on Team Liam and Millie! This dynamic duo is taking on Loch Ness with an unbeatable Father-Daughter bond. Liam, the hot tub aficionado and Director of Aura Print brings his impressive leadership skills to the boat, meanwhile, his daughter Millie, the speedy 14-year-old runner provides the youthful energy and endurance needed to power through the waves.
With Liam’s need for speed and Millie’s love of the great outdoors, this team is ready to make waves and take on the challenge for The Howarth Foundation.
Zoey & Brad
Meet Zoey and Brad, the ultimate sibling duo!
This brother and sister team have conquered mountains together and now they’re ready to take on the challenge of rowing Loch Ness. With a shared love of Formula 1, camping, and the great outdoors, they’re no strangers to pushing themselves to the limit.
But don’t let their adventurous side fool you, they both have their quirks too. Aura Print’s Marketer, Zoey, can be found with her nose buried in a book, while Brad is a die-hard Man Utd fan.
With their competitive and unwavering sibling bond, this pair is sure to wake up Nessie!
Dom & Allan
Introducing Dom & Allan, the dynamic duo that’s about to make waves on Loch Ness!
First up is Dom, and when he’s not pumping iron, you’ll find him dazzling audiences on stage with his incredible musical theatre skills. From Christmas Panto to daring performances such as Bonnie & Clyde, he’s a real showstopper, and oh boy does he have an incredible set of pipes!
On the other side of the boat is Allan, who loves nothing more than exploring the great outdoors, embarking on epic walking adventures. His love for nature is rivalled only by his passion for pool. With a cue in hand, Allan becomes a pool shark, sinking balls and impressing opponents with his strategic finesse.
Together, Dom and Allan are an unstoppable force, blending strength, talent, and an infectious zest for life.
Chris & John
Chris and John are Aura Print’s production superstars!
Chris is the go-to guy for all things large format and has an unwavering passion for Huddersfield Town FC that is only matched by his love for printing.
John, on the other hand, is a skilled production team member by day, but at night he transforms into a rockstar, performing as a solo acoustic artist and with his band, Mundi Club.
These two are sure to bring their A-game to the rowing challenge, just like they do in their day jobs!
James & Andy

James, the chief Graphic Designer at Aura Print, is always ready for a challenge and loves exploring the great outdoors. Whether it’s camping, hiking, or swimming, James is always up for a new adventure.
Meanwhile, Andy is a thrill-seeker on two wheels, tearing up the trails on his mountain bike. When he’s not hitting the dirt, Andy is a talented musician, shredding his guitar with his band.
Together, James and Andy are ready to conquer the waters of Loch Ness and show off their paddling skills.
Rachael & Jono
Rachael and Jono are a power duo, ready to take on the challenge of Loch Ness with their impressive paddling skills and top-notch navigation.

Andy & Gary
Meet Gary and Andy, the older statesmen of the expedition.
These guys have worked together for over 12 years; Gary is a strategic thinker, mentor and entrepreneur; Andy is a business owner and marketeer; they’re both suffering Leeds United supporters.
Don’t let them being the oldest fool you, they’re both outdoor types, and active gym goers, doing everything they can to battle the aging process!
They have the added advantage in that Andy joined us on our first Loch Ness row in 2011, so he’s no stranger to the task the lies ahead.
Get behind these two if you believe that experience is more valuable than youth!!
