"Into the blue has managed the Isle of Wight Economic Partnership’s Round the Island Race, High School Challenge event for two consecutive years. This event involved coordinating 40 young people in the pre-event preparations for their team to race in the JPMorgan Asset Management Round the Island Race. As part of the event ITB brought in specialists to ensure the students had the necessary skills to undertake the roles they were given, arranged for the hire of yachts to be raced and much more. We found the standard of management to be very high, extremely efficient with great attention to detail. Jo and her team worked closely with IWEP updating us with regular, detailed status reports before and subsequent to the event whilst managing the budget with precision. We have found working with Into the Blue to be a pleasure and would not hesitate to use them again for similar events should the opportunity arise."
Mike King, Managing Director, Isle of Wight Economic Partnership
"Jo Grindley and her team have an excellent knowledge and understanding of the sport of sailing, a close relationship with many of the key personalities and respect from the media contacts they deal with. These combinations of strengths are a powerful force and the results can be seen in the clients and major events that are selecting Into the blue to deliver communications messages that work for them. We have worked as host broadcasters at events where Into the blue are managing the communications and where the efficiency and intelligence of their pre event planning added to their ‘ on the day’ ability to both spot and react to breaking news and additional opportunities deliver outstanding results time after time."
