01 — The plan
3000 miles of open water.
Row across the Atlantic, that sounds like a great idea. Sharks, tankers, storms, flying fish ambush and much more.
Adventure. Perspective. Possibility.
NOT YOUR AVERAGE JOURNEY.
An ocean crossed. A story worth sharing. Extraordinary experiences, exceptional projects.

01 / The story. Live.
51 DAYS
One ocean. No script. Quite a story.
Fifty-one days rowing across the Atlantic, seven of them without food, told live, informally and with plenty of humour, by the man who did the rowing.

02 — Seven days
Then the food ran out.
A week without eating, still rowing. Phil tells it honestly, the grim bits, the funny bits, and what goes through your head out there.
03 — The evening
Not a motivational speech.
No slides, no tidy lesson. Phillip talks to a room the way he would talk to friends at dinner, and your questions steer where it goes. No two sessions run the same way.

02 / The man behind the journey
Phillip Carrington.
An unusual background, Royal Marines, commercial diving, an Atlantic row and a handful of other adventures that shaped a life full of stories.
It taught a particular kind of judgement: keep the objective simple, never let pride outrun the weather. These days he puts that to work on ambitious international projects. Fewer decks, more doing.
ROYAL MARINES COMMANDO
Where the training started, and the habit of staying useful when conditions change.
COMMERCIAL DIVING, ROPE ACCESS, TV PRODUCTION, SHARK FEEDING, RESCUE DIVER
from oil rigs to rollercoasters, American Ninja Warrior to The Human Baton, feeding sharks to SailGP.
EXPERDITIONS
Atlantic row, Kayaked the Yukon and Rhine rivers, Mont Blanc, Grand2Grand Ultra, Corsica Raid.
International projects
Ideas that need the right people and a workable plan, then delivery.
03 / Special Projects
CREATE. BUILD. DELIVER.
A concept that needs a shape, an event that has to work in more than one country, a partnership that has not found its form yet. Phil brings the idea, the people, the practical expertise and the delivery together, and stays with it until it is finished.
International events
Concepts that cross borders. Phil works from brief to floor plan, audience, programme, partners and logistics, then stays on the floor until the last guest leaves.
Creative concepts
Ideas that need a shape. Positioning, narrative, format and experience developed until a concept is clear enough to pitch, fund or build.
Operations
The unglamorous half. Timelines, suppliers, budgets and risk, plus the practical judgement that keeps a project moving once the first plan stops working.
Strategic partnerships
The right people in the same room. Introductions, alignment and agreements built around what each side can genuinely deliver.
