DNE 24-hour row challenges AWE team

Today, on the International Day of Charity, we’re proud to spotlight a challenge that brings together endurance, teamwork, and a shared commitment to making a difference.  

Inspired by the incredible 3,000-mile Atlantic crossing completed by HMS OARDACIOUS, We’ve challenged our people to join the DNE 24-hour row to raise funds for this good cause, alongside the UK Ministry of Defence, Royal Navy, BAE Systems, Rolls Royce and Submarine Delivery Agency. 

This challenge isn’t just about physical strength. It’s about the strength of our values, our people, and our commitment to giving back. 

Last year was an incredible success: the 2024 challenge saw an astounding 4,200km rowed across 8 sites with over 450 rowers taking part. This years’ challenge has got even bigger and will be taking place across 11 locations. 

We’re confident that our team will bring their brilliance to this event since endurance is something we’re good at. After all, we’ve been helping deliver the UK’s nuclear deterrent for 75 years.
