Five extreme environments will witness the most comprehensive ground truthing of our planet.
Ice is crucial for our very existence. It keeps the world at a temperature where life can exist.
Oceans are the most important factor in controlling carbon in the atmosphere. Absorption, storing and releasing green house gases.

Explorer and Founder. I have a passion for getting the very best from people - realising their potential - and believe that most people never get that far. That combined with my love for Mother Nature, makes me the animal I am. If I had my way I'd introduce everyone to the extremes - for I know what they can do for us all.
Operations Director - Digital Content Manager. I love inspiring people to achieve things they never thought possible! After 35 years operating in a mountain, expedition and rescue environment in the UK and Europe and training young people in expedition skills. I now enjoy enabling other people to reach their potential doing something purposeful and worthwhile in extreme environments.
Chief Scientific Adviser. I am CEO of Plymouth Marine Laboratory and extremely excited about the prospect of delivering responsible net zero research. To support a sustainable future for the Ocean we need to be in a position to monitor the changes which are happening. Ocean Warrior will be a very valuable addition to this pursuit and I’m looking forward to seeing how we can develop the project over the years ahead.
Director and Sailing Expedition Consultant. I blend my passion for adventure sailing with a long career in the tech industry and a love for the world’s oceans. With over 100,000 sea miles of sailing experience, I’ve completed what I describe as 2.75 circumnavigations of the globe, spending many months in the Southern Ocean both as part of a crew and alone. My unique blend of adventure sailing and corporate experience allows me to serve as an ideal Ocean Expedition Consultant for Ocean Warrior.
Director. I bring a background in both corporate commercial leadership and SME business development with experience of building brands with purpose. I originally studied Geography at University and then embarked on a 25-year career in consumer goods working for multinational companies such as Kellogg's, Alberto-Culver and Unilever growing brands; culminating in commercial and marketing global leadership roles. Unilever's commitment to sustainability enthused me to study sustainability management at The Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership which really enlightened me on the increasing challenges we face due to climate change.
Director. Professionally, I am marine scientist with over 20 years of industry experience in oceanographic & hydrographic data processing& management, instrumentation development, design & integration, and more recently automated and un-crewed acquisition platforms. Personally, I am a climber/surfer/cyclist and general outdoor enthusiast with a taste for cold, high and remote places. Getting involved with Ocean Warrior is a great opportunity to leverage some of those professional lessons and experiences learnt to help the project achieve its critical goals.
Landscape Artist-in-Residence. I am an artist exploring the idea that the action of landscape painting can evoke an emotional response to unfamiliar or vulnerable landscapes. My previous large-scale public installations have garnered significant attention from audiences who encounter the artwork, engaging a wide demographic that might not usually connect with landscape painting. I am passionate about ensuring that future generations can connect the emotional benefits of creativity with the ability to foster empathy for landscapes and the natural world. The Melt.
Composer-in-Residence. My very first tune came to me through my bedroom window from the woods outside my house. I was 8 years old and this inspiration from nature for my creativity has continued to this day. When Jim and I met randomly in a pub on Dartmoor several years ago I soon realised that he also shared this deep passion and caring for our natural world. We both felt we'd met for a reason despite our very different backgrounds and we have gone on to collaborate giving talks about music and nature. I am delighted to be a part of Global Warrior. Farewell Ice
Sculptor-in-Resdience. It is a huge honour and a privilege to ally myself to this amazing endeavour. It gives me the opportunity to work with what I believe to be one of the most important research projects going on in the world at this challenged juncture in the evolution of this beleaguered planet. To sculpt the wonderful animals from this beloved area is an absolute pleasure and the fact that it is also an area woven into the Global Warrior initiative makes that even better.
Nick's Work
Best Supporter. There are so many skills, lessons and sayings I have adopted from the Warrior training process. The one I use most of all is the "walk tall syndrome". I literally walk through life with no worries knowing in any situation, critical or not, I can deal with it. Global Warrior is more than an Outfitting shop, or ground-breaking expeditions, or superb training. It's a state of mind.
Technical Retail Specialist. I have always worked in outdoor environments, whether as a high ropes instructor in the Tamar Valley, or a park ranger in California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains, or photographing UNESCO World Heritage sites for foreign governments. Fast forward to now, with Jim and Sam and our shared love of the natural world and drive to make a difference, I joined the Global Warrior Team at BASECAMP to assist in the retail side with future plans to be involved with the expeditions.
Aide de Camp. My life is somewhat like Netflix. Series One: Good life, marriage, family and career as a documentary film maker. Series Two: Tragically lost my wife to brain tumour. I committed to summit a mountain a month for a charity in salute to my wife. Series Three: I met Jim 8 years ago, trained to be an Ice Warrior and uncovered a sense of real purpose. I now work to support the participants through all aspects of their incredible training journey.
