Filippi UK is delighted to partner with the inaugural Junior Fours Head to promote and enhance the junior rowing calendar in the UK.
The Junior Fours Head launches in November 025 and will take place on the Championship Course, from Mortlake to Putney. It aims to allow junior rowers to experience racing on the Tideway after several years of disrupted racing schedules and limited availability at existing Tideway heads.
Tim Liversage, Chairman of the Junior Fours Head, commented: “We are thrilled to announce that Filippi is now an official race partner for our first junior fours head of the river on the Tideway. Their commitment to junior rowing is exemplified through their fantastic sponsorship of a prize draw for our volunteers, who will have the chance to win a bespoke four for their club. This partnership reflects Filippi’s dedication to meeting the increasing demand for more racing opportunities for all. We are delighted to have Filippi as a key partner in our mission to promote sports excellence.”
“We look forward to creating more opportunities for everyone to race.”
Paul Willis, owner of WW Marine, the exclusive Filippi dealer in the UK, commented: “Junior rowing has been a stronghold for Filippi in the UK for many years. As part of our mission to promote and create excellence, we are focused on supporting junior programmes to give their athletes the best opportunities to train and race in top-class boats. The Junior Fours Head aligns perfectly with that vision, and we are excited to drive this project forward.”
Underpinning the ‘Fours Festival’ of rowing across the weekend of the 14th-16th November 2025, there will also be a ‘Virtual Fours Festival’ that will complement the on-water offering by allowing participating clubs to enter an unlimited number of athletes into the virtual competition.
