Mack is often found wandering round the office mumbling "Who needs Sharapova?" questioning his decision to leave Sony Ericsson and the award winning work he did on their sponsorship of women's tennis to set up a company in the middle of a recession. Maria's loss is Threshold's gain – he is the driving force behind us and for me an inspiration in striking the right balance between work, family and play. Far better than his balance in his kayak…
Always the first to suggest a coffee run or a meeting at Caffe Nero, Charlie was recently voted the wisest member of the Threshold family. Whether it's hard facts or numbers, lateral thinking or details, you can rely on Charlie. When he's not flying backwards and forwards to Riyadh or negotiating various Threshold contracts, he loves spending time with his family at home on Dartmoor in Devon, playing cricket and tennis if time allows and challenging Mack (or anyone!) to half marathons and 10kms!
What can you say about James Cracknell OBE? Tantalisingly tight Olympic finals that stopped the nation in its tracks, relentless determination to succeed, a talented writer and a phenomenal athlete. He's the walking, talking (rowing) God-Daddy of more is in you. We try to copy his drive and motivation. But we don't copy his tennis backhand: think giraffe on ice.
Maz has eagle-eyes and boundless energy. Ready for anything, when she’s not poring over details at work she’ll be on the slopes with her sisters or running a four-hour marathon, just like that.
Cassie came to Threshold with events experience in bundles – 11 years of it. She's the first to suggest an early morning run, followed by a healthy feast to kick-start her tireless work on our events. Cassie was the engine behind Deloitte RAB 2010, and her endless energy is marvelled by everyone at Threshold.
A multilingual former FIFA exec and current coffee fiend, Adam navigates Threshold through our day-to-day work on international commercial football projects and is probably the quickest half-marathon runner in the office – except for James of course!
Penny’s drive and enthusiasm has seen her have an instant impact on Threshold; we shouldn’t have been surprised though, since she has rowed for Junior Great Britain in the past. Penny’s brand loyal if nothing else, it’s Innocent veg pots, real ales, red wine and no substitutes! Her good nature and no nonsense attitude make her a pleasure to be around and if you ask really nicely she might even show you how good she is at the drums.
Nicky jumped right into Threshold life and straight into the Deloitte Ride Across Britain, after touring Europe with the tennis world. Some called it a baptism of fire, Nicky saw it as just another challenge. Not one to balk at the intensity of it, Nicky works like our Deloitte RAB cyclists train – head on, focused and determined, and rewarded by a chilled gin and tonic when the job's done.
Jess is the social Irish one, who is always up for anything, from sky diving off Niagara falls to sailing in the National Championships. She's the Captain of our ship, making sure the office runs smoothly without a hitch. She's also a dab-hand at events, ready to tackle any challenge and is always eager to get involved.
Sinead is a valued member of the Consultancy team, working really hard on the BP ambassador programme. Always smiling, and being super organised (loves her spreadsheets!), Sinead is a great part of the team and is never one to shy away from post-work drinks. As an owner of a Fulham FC season ticket, she is a hardcore sports fan and loves to be outside being active.
Kate is the glue that holds the consultancy team together. We knew she was made of tough stuff after successfully completing her first Threshold challenge – standing on a busy London street, dressed as 'Spiderman', directing a group of adventure racers around town. A true Thresholdian and always with a smile Kate embraces every challenge we throw her way - she can turn her hand to anything and is pretty nimble with a hockey stick too.
With a background in the advertising industry and sports marketing strategy, you will often find Stuart talking about the need for a 360 approach or here's the big idea! When not interrogating projects and working on solutions Stuart spends his time worrying about the future of Coventry City FC, playing football on Saturday afternoons in the four corners of greater London and getting lost, again, running around Richmond Park.
Amanda has recently joined the team with lots of energy to bring to the table. Having recently worked on the logistics for the Sports Industry Awards, she will be dotting the i's and crossing the t's in the events department. As a keen netballer (playing for a league, no less) and up for a challenge, Amanda is no stranger to an active lifestyle.
Lara joined Threshold from a long-time background in premier corporate hospitality and event planning in the fast paced world of Formula 1, and other prestigious event programmes. Mixing an expertise in hospitality and event management, and coffee consumption, we're delighted to have her on board.
