Arrowpak International feel that it is only right that we put some of our time and money back into the local community. One of the ways we do this is through sponsorship. In general we prefer to do this in a low-key way, but we are proud to make an exception and publicise our involvement with a talented young British showjumper.

At 16 years of age and full of promise in her chosen field, Portia Howard from Norfolk approached us with the idea of sponsoring her as she prepared to take her own leap towards becoming one of Britain’s leading show jumper. We agreed to help, and have been immensely gratified by the tremendous progress Portia has made since then.

She won the title of ‘Young Show jumper of the Year’ at Olympia, and became a regular member of the British under 21 Team, competing both at home and abroad. Having now graduated to the seniors, it is clear Portia has a glittering future ahead of her, with a place in the British team at the Olympics her ultimate goal.

We wish her every success in her quest.
