Cancer Research UK's Race for Life, the UK's largest women only 5km event series is hugely
successful and contributes to around a fifth of Cancer Research UK's annual science spend.
This year, 750,000 women came together and have to date raised over £46million.
"It is extremely important for us to ensure we continually improve the success and popularity
of Race for Life and we recognised that the timescales required to implement any improvements
would be challenging. To support us on implementing an innovative approach to running the 2007
programme, we approached Bluegrass Consultancy.
Bluegrass immediately brought a breadth of knowledge and insight to our project that we couldn't
duplicate internally. They helped us define the business need and provided us with an approach
that focused on establishing robust governance processes and clear steps to achieve success.
Using Bluegrass has been very beneficial for the organisation in providing solutions to
complex issues saving both time and resources.
The Bluegrass consultants are both professional and friendly, a winning combination. I was
especially impressed with their service, knowledge and willingness to help us succeed. The
Bluegrass consultants are excellent communicators who explain resolutions clearly and concisely.
Even when we encountered unexpected delivery challenges the Bluegrass consultants always
provided us with solutions that were aimed at resolving the specific challenge with as
little pain as possible. In addition they provided us with continuous support and guidance.
Bluegrass Consultancy has provided us with a great partnership and I have no hesitation
in recommending them to any organisation, charity or business that has a requirement
for quality consultancy services." Cancer Research UK Head of Operations (National Events)

"Bluegrass helped to bring clarity to planning a major project in a totally new area for the
charity. With few concrete details to go on they helped us to put in place working practices
to help us to plan and respond to different scenarios. We worked with and adapted these to
meet the challenge of the project as it unfolded day-by-day. Bluegrass are easy and
approachable to work with, and we would be delighted to work with them again in the future."

"It says something that we have worked with the Bluegrass team for over 5 years now and
continue to use their specialist resources. It is important for me to know that when I do
need support for my business, that I can obtain the right people quickly and also be very
confident that they will hit the ground running and do a high quality job. That's why we
keep using them." Managing Director, AXA Sun Life Direct

"An outstanding service! Our business had grown to the point where our standalone PC configuration no longer met
the needs of the business. Bluegrass spent time with us to fully understand our requirements and recommended a
comprehensive, cost effective and straightforward solution, that did not require us to purchase a server.
We now have a simple and manageable solution that provides everything we need for the business to grow including Internet
connectivity, mobile computing, shared data storage and synchronisation. During the implementation Bluegrass
went further than just deploying the solution but also helped us to integrate it with other aspects within our business.
For Abeo our computing infrastructure plays a key role in our business and having Bluegrass on hand to provide
remote support services gives us the peace of mind that we will always be able to service our clients.
I can whole heartedly recommend Bluegrass to other small businesses who want to work with a friendly and professional partner."
Derek Bishop, Managing Director for Abeo Consulting.

“I responded to a marketing flyer from Bluegrass and first asked them to help me with a
remote working requirement. We needed the ability to access an application running on a
remote PC, that avoided any network or firewall issues. The Bluegrass team made sure
that they understood our needs, researched and tested the options available and then
setup and demonstrated their solution which met our needs perfectly. It was refreshing
to see how the computing needs of a small business like ours should be dealt with.”

"A friendly and highly competent member of the Bluegrass team first helped us to overcome existing wireless and networking issues.
Once our network was working fully he went on to enhance security, tune up PCs to run faster, review our email setup and
provide end user training."
