We see Junior Rowing News as the ideal partner to help us reach out to junior rowers, across the UK, and understand what they want from their kit and how we can deliver that.”

It’s such a fantastic sport, with a growing base of young, engaged people and we’re proud to be working to improve the resources people can access to better their own performance”.
