Executive Friends
The Friends receive contributions towards our work in support of the Scott Polar Research Institute from many sources. Most of our support comes from individual subscribers but we also receive donations and support in kind from Trusts and companies towards specific projects or as sponsorship of Friends' events and activities. These supporting Trusts and companies are our highly valued "Executive Friends".
We are pleased to acknowledge the following amongst our current Executive Friend supporters:
