Thanks to...
The help and encouragement we’re receiving for the Planet Whale project is humbling. It seems that everyone we meet turns out to be a whalewatcher, diver, oceanographer, or simply a whale and dolphin enthusiast. We want to grab the chance to thank a few special people who have helped us on our journey so far:
Lisa Walker and Daphne Rowlands are our long-suffering wives who (just about!) keep faith with us as we try to make the world a better place!
Hugh Callacher of The Missing Sock, Vision Group and Generation Journey is our invaluable business partner and mentor.
Maria Banks is not only our good friend but is also our constant touchstone when we need to reconnect with our mission! She’s an Executive Coach, Human Resource Professional and Turnaround Specialist at Strada Innovation.
Charles Robinson of Rade, and Alex Cowell of Cubeworks are two top web guys who gave us the benefit of their wisdom and some great pointers. We ultimately decided to work with another company but can thoroughly recommend them.
Justin Francis, founder of Responsible Travel, gave us the confidence to proceed when we were just rebels-without-a-clue.
Terry Swainbank of Synergis Technologies has given us the benefit of his commercial acumen – it’s been tough-love but has made quite a difference.
Richard Stephens has given freely of his invaluable e-commerce expertise. He’s the MD of Piqqo which makes voluntary carbon offsetting easy and credible for retailers and their consumers.
Steve, Rob, and Claire at Steven R Francis & Co Ltd are our ace and super friendly accountants.
Jan Honza Zicha and Daryn Clarke of Bein Services are at the heart of helping us make our online community a reality.
Countless other friends, family and colleagues continue to provide advice, hints, tips and support along with just the right amount of scepticism when we get carried away! You are too many to name but you know who you are. Thanks muchly - you are our rocks.
