George Bullard

George Bullard is a world record-breaking explorer and endurance athlete. To date he has covered more than 2000 miles on foot in the polar regions and completed 14 extraordinary expeditions around the world, guiding over 300 people. 

At the age of 19 George achieved a feat that explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes described as ‘genuinely ground-breaking’, completing the world’s longest fully unsupported polar journey.

Alongside Alex Hibbert, he made a 1374 mile return crossing of the Greenland Icecap. He has gone on to excel as an explorer and endurance athlete sailing in the TransAtlantic race, leading youth development programmes in the Amazon and facilitating scientific research expeditions in Antarctica. George is passionate about encouraging others to embark on their own adventures, embrace their strengths, overcome their weaknesses, and confront the challenge of the ‘unthinkable’.

“George regularly delivers professional, highly informative and inspirational lectures to audiences of all backgrounds, ages and ability levels. Speaking with true zeal and modesty he unpicks success and tackles failure. Encouraging us to embrace our strengths and overcome weaknesses, he ultimately leaves us ready to confront the challenge of the ‘unthinkable’”.
