“Grounded Events worked with Jo Osborne from the inaugural Brighton Marathon in 2010 through to 2014 when she left Brighton & Hove City Council. Jo’s open mindedness and organised approach to the new major event in the city in 2010 allowed it to be a huge success without any major obstacles from a local government point of view, and her attitude and passion for outdoor events meant growing the marathon, tweaking the route and adding a 10k event to the day was made as easy as possible, with Jo supporting us through negotiations with other local authority departments in the city. We would highly recommend Jo as a person to approach for advice and assistance in turning an event idea into something real and successful.”
