After five years as presenting sponsor of the annual Oxford and Cambridge University Boat Race, Xchanging is delighted to become the first ever title sponsor of the Race which is now known as The Xchanging Boat Race. “We are pleased and honoured to assume title sponsorship of an event that typifies the best of sportsmanship and competitive intensity. We draw strength from the determined example of the Oxford and Cambridge crews. We expect the 2010 Xchanging Boat Race to be another compelling sporting battle.” David Andrews, founder and CEO of Xchanging

The Xchanging Boat Race is becoming a closer fought contest with each passing year. The margin between the winning and losing crew is constantly narrowing; these ‘margins’ are not always reflected in the finish line verdict on race day. They are largely decided by the months of training and preparation put in during the build up to race day.

Both clubs are constantly finding innovative ways to get their boats faster, whether this is down to their physical preparation, their mental training in the build up, or through investment in the latest equipment and highest quality coaching staff - it all counts when finding the vital inches that make the difference between winning and losing. It is this professional approach, and such phenomenally high standards that we at Xchanging are so proud to be associated with.

Training for success

Training for The Xchanging Boat Race is their business. In our business the margin between winning and losing is just as tight. Competing companies with similar capabilities are also constantly looking for that elusive element that makes them the winner.

A winning business will plan and prepare as a team. They train and rehearse to ensure they execute with a common purpose. This is vital as competitive pressures increase year-on-year, just as it does for the Boat Race crews.

“With the ‘winner takes it all’ result and such narrow margins between success and failure, it is a very special event. We take to heart that success depends on the power, precision and performance that winning the Boat Race demands”. David Andrews - founder and CEO of Xchanging
