our story
Founded through 47A® Private Suite at the Australian Grand Prix in 2019 , Tom Barker Group has grown into a global platform for private Formula 1® hospitality and curated performance experiences.
Expedition Ice carries the same philosophy beyond the circuit. A private winter expedition in New Zealand's Southern Alps, anchored by the Audi Ice Drive at the Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds.

Our Clients
47A® is built around a private community of guests: private investors, respected founders and family offices who value connection and belonging over access and limelight.
The world's most valuable relationships are rarely built in boardrooms. They are formed through shared experience, trusted environments and genuine conversation. It is in this spirit that every 47A® suite is hosted.
Through our Official Partners, that community extends further still: investment banks, auto dealer groups, private member clubs and luxury travel agencies, each entrusted to make the 47A® Private Suite available to their own clients and members.
