BIRKIRKARA, MALTA, November 09, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The deVere Group, the world's largest independent financial consultancy group, was announced lead sponsor of Chris Foot in his quest to become the first polar expeditionist to travel 1392 miles solo unsupported and unassisted.

The deVere Group is sponsoring Chris GBP20,000 to aid the costs of the equipment for the expedition. In addition, deVere employees are raising money across the globe for Combat Stress.

This epic route is the only remaining conquest in Antarctica not to be claimed by an expeditionist. Chris will be in partnership with Combat Stress throughout this expedition in order to raise money for this essential charity that helps former military personnel confront and overcome mental health problems.

Nigel Green, CEO of the deVere Group, commented: "It takes leadership, passion and dedication to undertake any type of expedition to the South Pole. Chris is taking the expedition one step further and travelling unsupported and unaided, he is simply inspiring and we are very happy to be able to support him to the sum of GBP20,000."

Chris Foot commented: "Life is a journey and I want to get the most out of every day - it isn't about being the first to undertake this return journey, but about pushing oneself and striving for excellence. As I am supporting Combat Stress, such a great charity, I want to raise as much money as possible and it is only possible with the support of companies such as the deVere Group."

The deVere Group offers advice on financial services that may suit medium- to long-term requirements for investments, savings and pensions. In a similar way to embarking on an adventure such as an expedition to the South Pole, financial planning takes time and focus to achieve long-term benefits. At deVere we understand this and are well positioned to assist international investors living anywhere in the world.
