    THE PETER DAWSON BOWL

    The Peter Dawson Bowl is generously sponsored by the Garland Group, a company set up in Portugal in 1776 by Thomas Garland.   With a presence in the market of one years short of a quarter of a millennium,  Garland is one of the Portugal's oldest companies.  Since its foundation, the company has developed and morphed its strategic business lines from printing bank notes in 1848 to becoming a key navigation agency in Portuguese waters in 1855, through to transportation businesses by rail, air and sea through much of the 20th Century culminating in today's strategic focus, under three divisions, of Logistics, Transport and Shipping.  With 5 offices in Portugal, 2 in Spain and 1 in Morocco, Garland provides today, a complete supply chain management solution for its customers as well as transport solutions to and from the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco.
