Learning from champions 🏉🏆
On Wednesday our Senior Associate in Natural Resources Rebecca Blackburn attended ‘A Chat with the Champions’ - an inspiring evening with Bristol Bears Women players who were part of the winning 2025 Rugby World Cup England Rugby team.
As proud sponsors of Bristol Bears Women, it was a privilege to hear first-hand from the legendary Red Roses Abbie Ward, Hannah Botterman, Lark Atkin-Davies, and Sarah Bern what it takes to perform and thrive at the highest level.
Rebecca said: “The best part was hearing the players’ journeys through the World Cup, how they prepared, stayed grounded, and truly enjoyed an immensely high-pressure environment.
“The World Cup journey spans months away from family and normal life, so being able to adapt to each other’s needs, support one another, and work to each other’s strengths was powerful to hear.
"Their coach championed diversity of thought and personality, and their belief in themselves and each other was truly inspiring.”
At Granger Reis, we recognise the same traits that drive exceptional leadership and performance: resilience, mutual trust, and the courage to perform under pressure, whether on the pitch or in the boardroom.
Thank you to Bristol Bears Women for sharing your insights, energy, and incredible story of teamwork and belief 👏
