Nines Put NW Brown’s Client First
It was only a month ago that NW Brown Group Ltd’s Chairman, Dr David Parnell, formally named the newest craft in the Cambridge ’99 Rowing Club’s fleet. Already the Club’s men’s first crew have succeeded in putting their new boat, ‘The Client’, first after a week of strong racing at the Town Bumps at the end of July.
It was only a month ago that NW Brown Group Ltd’s Chairman, Dr David Parnell, formally named the newest craft in the Cambridge ’99 Rowing Club’s fleet, purchased as part of a five year sponsorship deal between the club and the Group - one of East Anglia’s premier Financial Advisory companies. Already the Club’s men’s first crew have succeeded in putting their new boat, ‘The Client’, first after a week of strong racing at the Town Bumps at the end of July. The crew took first position on the river, bumping City of Cambridge and Cantabrigian Boat Club to take the headship by Thursday night.
The week of racing was the second time the new Stampfli 8+, which is named in honour of NW Brown’s motto of ‘putting the client first’, has been used in a race since it was purchased in January of this year. In both competitions the crew has attained or surpassed their standards of success.
The men’s headship at the Bumping Races was last held by Cambridge ‘99s in 1997. The desire to continue the achievements of 2009 into 2010 is shared by the club’s racing crews and by NW Brown. In supporting the club’s efforts on the water, NW Brown has played a part in supporting one of Cambridge's most successful community sports clubs.
NW Brown’s Marketing Manager, Cara McLean, commented, ‘it is rewarding to be associated with a club that can pull together crews who focus on delivering such a high standard ‘on the day’. Like NW Brown, we can see that Cambridge ‘99s will look to the future and keep striving to put The Client first. The Group congratulates the headship crew on their week of success.’
