"I have known Simon Marshall now for more than 12 years and together we have organized a number of expeditions to different parts of the globe. Simon was a key part of the team for both the "Ultimate Challenge" expedition to the Magnetic North Pole in 1996 and this year’s Polar Race. His company, Inukshuk Solutions, will also be undertaking a number of the organisational, logistical and training functions for the race we intend to run in 2007.
"Simon’s great skills are his complete thoroughness and attention to detail. When you are running expeditions in the Arctic the smallest oversight or equipment failure can lead to the complete failure of the trip. When Simon organises something it stays organized! Also if we break or lose something he also knows where to find another or get it mended, which in an Inuit village of less than 100 people is quite a skill, believe me!" |
