2011 Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta winners - Purdue University

The US female rowing crew from Purdue University, who won the women’s varsity heavyweight eight title at the 2011 Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta, came to visit Aberdeen’s London office in June ahead of competing in the Henley Regatta.

Having secured a place to race in Henley by winning the Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta, the crew of twelve’s trip to England was sponsored by Aberdeen. A visit to the London Headquarters was arranged to give the girls an insight into the corporate world, and to meet some of the Aberdeen staff who helped make their trip happen.

“I was delighted to meet the twelve girls from Purdue University at our office, and to tell them more about what we do at Aberdeen,” said Piers Currie, Group Head of Marketing at Aberdeen Asset Management. “Winning the Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta women’s varsity heavyweight eight is an impressive achievement, and we are proud that the crew will be representing the Dad Vail and Aberdeen at the prestigious Henley Regatta.”
