Shiplake College Boat Club

The Shiplake College Boat Club have been busy on the water with their Brooklands Executives sponsored craft.

On Saturday the 7th of June Shiplake’s Boat Club travelled to Dorney Lake for the Eton Schools Regatta. This was a small rerun of the National Schools Regatta that was cancelled two weeks ago. Shiplake had four boats entered into this regatta which were the J.15 Championship Eight, the J.16 Four, the Championship Quad and the Brooklands sponsored First Eight  boat. The racing began at 3pm over a 2km course.

The First Eight had a disappointing row coming in fourth in the semi-final and failing to make it to the final by three seconds. We clocked in a time of 6.19. We were unfortunately drawn in the harder heat of our division which put us up against Westminster, Bedford Modern School and Maidstone Invicta; though we did beat local rivals Oratory and Reading Blue Coat.

It was a good day with some good racing especially from the J16s and J15s, although the day showed that there’s still work to be done for the first squad in order to qualify for Henley in just less than 4 weeks. Thanks goes to the coaches and supporters for all their support and hard work.

International assignments

As we look back at 2007, we see Brooklands did a record number of international assignments for both Interim Executives and Executive Search. We built top management teams and had interim executives on assignments in France, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and the Netherlands, in the USA and found ourselves once again enjoying the sunshine whilst working with clients in Sharrjah (UAE).

Recently the Brooklands team has been delivering assignments in the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Mexico. This is testament not only to our excellent international capability but also our growing reputation as being competent to take on the ‘global head hunters’.
