The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge

Since the summer of 2019, Guy Rigby & David Murray joined forces to begin training to row the Atlantic Ocean as part of the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.  

They set off in their 24-foot rowing boat, aptly named The Entrepreneur Ship, from La Gomera on Sunday 12 December 2021. After 53 gruelling days at sea, they arrived safely in Antigua on Thursday 3 February 2022.

With a combined age of 124, this journey makes them world record holders as the oldest pair to ever row any ocean.

Fundraising for UnLtd, the foundation for social entrepreneurs

Having spent most of his life working with and advising entrepreneurs, Guy, with the support of David, decided to use this epic challenge to raise money for UnLtd - the charity that finds, funds and supports social entrepreneurs. 

They support people from all backgrounds to change our society for the better through sustainable, purposeful business, in local communities and across the UK. To help them succeed UnLtd provide:  

• grant and investment funding  
• wraparound business support from our 1-to-1 advisors  
• access to professional and peer support networks     

In 2019 UnLtd supported 458 social entrepreneurs to reach 333,000 beneficiaries, to which 93% of the ventures achieved growth in either turnover or impact as a result of their support.  

In 2020 UnLtd supported 662 social entrepreneurs and committed to giving 50% of all their grant giving to entrepreneurs who identify as Black, Asian or from a minority ethnic background and/or disabled entrepreneurs.
