When Marc joined Blue Frontier there were only five members of staff, and since then he has been central to the extraordinary success we have achieved, so much so, it is fair to say his DNA is in the very fabric of the company.

We raised a total of £1,576 skydiving in support of Macmillan Cancer Research and the Salisbury Hospice.

Our Summer Social in 2022 was a huge hit! Held at the Pitton Village Hall and its grounds, the Blue Frontier Team was met with a blow up obstacle course and wrecking ball, catered barbeque, delightful music, and a stunning sunset. Our employees showed off their competitive sides and athletic abilities in the obstacle course. The wrecking ball took us into dusk. And the food finished off the evening. We always have a blast with our team and we could not have asked for a better setting or weather.
We held coffee mornings in all our offices to raise funds and awareness for Macmillan Cancer Support. Many team members baked cakes and treats to share and we even played bingo, find Colin the caterpillar and guess the number of sweets in the jar.
