Sponsors & Partners

AlphaGraphics

Just as Anna paddles her canoe to attain World, European and hopefully Olympic championship titles, relying on her team of training partners, coaches and sponsors, then more than 300 franchisees are receiving the hidden support of their AlphaGraphics Network. It is the same level of careful planning and strong teamwork that helps the stores work towards achieving their own goals.

The AlphaGraphics Network is the leading provider of print-related and digital publishing services for businesses worldwide through a
franchise operation. Its mission is to enable customers to easily and effectively communicate in any publishing medium, anywhere in the world, anytime.

All AlphaGraphics stores are connected through an extensive, private intranet, which allows them to work together on customer projects, exchange files and access technical support resources to get the job done better.

The first AlphaGraphics store was founded on the campus of the
University of Arizona, United states, in 1970. By the mid-1980s the
AlphaGraphics Network set new standards for innovation in the industry by becoming the first chain of printshops to uniformly adopt the newly arrived technologies of desktop publishing and laser printing. It had also begun to aggressively franchise and license its business concept.

Today there are over 300 AlphaGraphics stores, across 16 different countries, and it is the only Â' quickprint Â' chain whose franchising and store operating systems are ISO 9002 compliant.

The Pindar Organisation

The family owned company, G A Pindar & Son Ltd, was founded in 1836 in Scarborough, Yorkshire, where its head office remains today. It is the holding company for its three main businesses Pindar Graphics, Pindar Set and AlphaGraphics Inc which collectively focus on the development and provision of integrated services to information rich publishers, from concept to delivery. Some 1,000 operators across the Pindar companies specialise in data gathering and data management in the US, UK and India. Allied to local typesetting and design resources at the AlphaGraphics network, the Pindar Group offers its customers an unequalled pool of publishing resource.

SpinVox

SpinVox has brought together the two most popular methods of communication - voice and text - and created a whole new category of voice messaging; voice messages you can read on screen.

Using its patented voice message conversion system (VMCS), SpinVox created the worldÂ's first Voice-to-ScreenTM service in 2003. The service processes voicemail messages into text and sends them straight to the userÂ's mobile phone, exactly as if the caller had sent the text themselves. The user can instantly see who called and what they said, and can then call or text back at the push of a button.

SpinVox is now working with Network Operators and leading messaging brands worldwide to enable voice to create text-based messages within the applications we use in our daily lives, such as SMS and email.

SpinVox employs over 330 people and have offices in London, Paris, Madrid, Dusseldorf, Atlanta, Sydney, Sao Paolo.

Nelo

My relationship with Nelo started in 2001. I have been using their kayaks for both sprint and marathon racing ever since. I paddle the Scorpion (M). Nelo kayaks are of the highest quality; they tailor make my kayak so that it fits me perfectly and I am comfortable to train and compete in it at the highest level. They also provide technical support at major international competitions.

Nelo is one of the biggest and best canoe and kayak manufacturers in the world and are the official and exclusive boat supplier for the Athens 2004 Olympic Games
