Attract client walks to the South Pole

William McNamara OBE
Walking to the Southpole - William McNamara OBE is used to a challenge, in fact he’s become quite adept at them with his role as CEO of Bluestone and chairman of the Pembroke Dock Sunderland Trust/Flying Boat Centre, one of Attract's clients, yet he’s sure to face his biggest challenge to date as he undertakes the ultimate adventure – an expedition to the South Pole. William has been fascinated by Antarctica for many years. It is a continent of superlatives, the largest, the highest, the coldest, the driest on the planet. The aim of the walk is to raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

The aim is to forge an ongoing relationship with Teenage Cancer Trust so that Bluestone can provide quality, fun, short break experiences for families of cancer sufferers and maybe national events bringing many similarly effected families together. Bluestone is a significant new business within the National Park, Pembrokeshire and indeed Wales. It has impressive social economic and environmental credentials which are entirely appropriate in this day and age. As William says "It has indeed been a great privilege but also a significant responsibility to be given the sanction to build and operate such a business in beautiful countryside in a stunning part of West Wales. Thus compassion, benevolence and creative partnerships to make a real difference within our communities are entirely appropriate whilst maintaining strong financial objectives."
