Challenger Programme | Christopher Ward

At Christopher Ward, we love those who share our underdog spirit: the doers, the daredevils and the downright determined.

Our Challenger programme is our way of helping people with exceptional talent and determination, but less-than-exceptional bank balances. Whether they’re musicians, athletes or explorers, we’ve got their back.

Since its inception, the programme has helped to create four world champions and one Olympic gold medallist (step forward Henley’s Will Satch, who won rowing gold at Rio 2016.)

Our latest Challengers demonstrate Christopher Ward commitment to those who go the extra mile – literally – to achieve their goals.
