“Our aim is always to provide
Clipper Race followers with a website that is engaging and offers a platform
for them to easily keep up to date with the race,” explains Paul Hankey,

“We’ve been working with Salad, our website agency, since 2014 and it’s great
to see the relationship and work has been recognised with not just an award win
but also another four nominations.”
As well as the MetrixLab
Award the site has also been nominated for Best Travel/Leisure/Sports website
