our story
“The 47A and Expedition Ice brands are a byproduct of a strong vision coupled with the support of a great network of people.
My journey began in New Zealand, growing up immersed in motorsports, competing and working in the industry. It was there that a passion for the pinnacle of the sport, Formula 1, and the business that makes it so successful was ignited.
Establishing the company in 2018 by securing a private suite at the Australian Grand Prix as an ambitious 23-year-old created an opportunity to combine a passion for Formula 1 with an exciting entrepreneurial pursuit.
Who could have predicted the incredible wave of popularity and growth that Formula 1 was about to experience in the years to come?”

Our VISION
‘Experience Formula 1 from a whole new perspective’ was the founding vision for 47A.
47A is about doing things differently. It prioritises a bespoke, personal approach, making 47A the trusted meeting point for inspiring and influential people at Formula 1 globally, where each individual is valued.
We see Formula 1 as the absolute pinnacle of competition, innovation, engineering, marketing, business and networking. One only needs to spend 5 minutes in the Formula 1 Paddock or a trackside private suite to feel the energy and hive of opportunity.
Formula 1 is the epitome of ultimate high-performance in every aspect. 47A is inspired by this to be the ultimate in private hospitality, networking and travel experiences

Our subtle sophistication attracts a certain type of individual. One who is both interesting and interested, and values connecting with quality people.
