Integra Office Solutions’ Initiative flag
could soon be flying at the South Pole after
the dealer group confirmed its sponsorship
of teenage explorer and climate
campaigner Parker Liautaud.
Liautaud spoke at Integra’s
Celebrating
15 Years
conference in November 2013 and
delegates were so impressed with his tenacity
and drive that the group decided to support him
on his next expedition which he is making in
conjunction with global risk adviser and insurance
broker Willis.
As part of the Willis Resilience Expedition,
which sets off from the Ross Ice Shelf on
3 December, Liautaud will attempt to set a new
speed record and become the youngest man ever
to travel from the coast of Antarctica to the South
Pole on foot.
The new look Initiative logo will adorn his
outer garments and sled during the expedition,
giving valuable National TV and press coverage. If
he is successful in reaching the Pole, Liautaud will
raise the Initiative flag!
Members will be kept up to date on the
expedition via social media, with links to The
Willis Resilience Expedition website.
