To give you confidence when engaging Greenlight services here are a few endorsements of our service from a number of key industry partners:

Michael Wunderman ( President CORUM ).

“I have worked with many people over the years in the sponsorship and promotion arena and none have ever come close to the level of service that I experienced with David Green and 3greenlights. His passion and enthusiasm for projects is infectious and he gets the job done regardless of what unexpected situations arrive.

Flexible, creative, honorable. A true gentleman.”

Will King ( Founder King of Shaves ).

"I've known David for 22 years, and seen him action in many guises - whether teaching windsurfing or sailing, to running the UKSA to going up against the odds and raising so much money to make the GMIV project a reality, rather than a pipedream.  David has an infectious enthusiasm and 'can do' attitude that means whatever task he takes on, he gets it DONE.  3greenlights is an entirely apt name for his new company, and I wish David all the luck in growing projects from seeds to huge sequoias.  Good luck DBG."

Tim Sewell ( Sponsorship Manager - Skandia ).

"If ever there was a perfect name for an agency then this is it. '3greenlights' is the perfect description of David Green.  David is one of the most professional and successful ‘get it done’ people I have ever worked with.  With David there is no concept of red or amber, if a problem crops up you know that he’ll find a way round it.  And as well as being a consummate professional, David’s infectious enthusiasm, energy and sense of humour make working with him great fun."

Dame Ellen MacArthur.

"Rarely in your life you meet someone who you are instantly aware puts their heart soul and passion into something. David is one of those people, able to really make things happen, and really motivate those around him. We have worked together on various projects over the last 10 years, from my early campaigns to more recently with the Ellen MacArthur Trust, not once over those years have I ever seen a lack of enthusiasm and energy for whatever project he is driving."

Mark Turner ( CEO - OC Group ).

"David achieved exceptional results at the UKSA, and I am sure his 24/7 drive and enthusiasm are going to stand him in good stead in his new venture, delivering excellent value to his clients” www.ocgroup.com

Steve Ramsay ( Corum ).

''True enough, Corum has had and continues to have a strong association with the sea and sailing. The recent sponsorship of the Gipsy Moth IV project is continued testament to this association. However, without a chap by the name of David Green, latterly of the UKSA, but undoubtedly, now of 3greenlights.com, little or nothing would get done. If you want considered, first class and successful marine 'action in a hurry', then he is your man!''

Frank Fletcher ( CEO The Ellen MacArthur Trust ).

“I have had the greatest of pleasure to work with David Green on a number of projects – he has the experience and enthusiasm to move any project forward. With an abundance of creativity and a “can do” attitude that can single-handily galvanize people into action – 3greenlights is the perfect name for his business. David has the skill set and the experience to help transform your idea into reality.”

Conrad Humphreys.

“There are few people you meet in life that have the drive, passion and vision to deliver global sailing projects like the Gypsy Moth IV campaign. David Green is one of those people and there are thousands of young people who have been inspired to take up sailing because of him.”

Derek Tedder ( Sky News ).

I wanted to write to express my gratitude for the way you have helped us tell the story of the Gipsy Moth IV. On a personal note I also wanted you to know just how impressed we have all been by your continually positive approach to your work. 

To be honest there were times during our filming in the South Pacific when we faced overwhelming odds and on a number of occasions I felt as though our mission had come to an end because of all the disappointments. Yet it was your inimitable determination to see the positive in every situation that kept my whole team going. Your support, even in the middle of the night, never ceased to amaze me.

David you have a wonderful way of overcoming every problem you encounter by miraculously turning it into nothing more than another interesting challenge. I have never before met such a positive individual and you have taught e what it means to enjoy the path and process to success. All the best old fruit and once again thank you for the inspiration.

Yours truly, Derek

Paul Gelder ( Editor Yachting Monthly - founder of the save Gipsy Moth IV Project ).

"Jumping traffic lights is not David Green's style. But neither is sitting around in a state of 'amber'. Green symbolises go in traffic, ship and railway signals and as David demonstrated from the start of our Gipsy Moth IV project, he is a man with a mission - always on the 'go-go-go'."

Giles Chichester ( MEP and son of Sir Francis Chichester ).

“David Green has been outstanding in the way he has made the second life and second circumnavigation of Gipsy Moth IV such a successful and well supported project.  His enthusiasm and drive has been the catalyst for an extraordinary response from all manner of people and organisations and I congratulate him on achieving a truly impressive response from the media.”

www.gileschichestermep.org.uk

Ed Dolling ( Head of Commercial Finance, BT )

“3greenlights is just spot on for a description of David, just a single green would not be adequate.  His enthusiasm, total commitment to a project and sheer energy ensures that the objectives are fully delivered even on projects that for others would be considered to be beyond the realms of the possible. David’s track record with GM4, something that at the outset would have been dismissed by most as a dream, just shows that delivery is what DG is all about even after major setbacks he is undaunted and finishes the job he sets out to do"

Mike King (  Managing Director of the Isle of Wight Economic Partnership ).

“We have worked closely with David Green on the Gipsy Moth project. His passion and enthusiasm has been a major driving force and has helped us achieve some amazing results in terms of profile for the Isle of Wight and raising the aspirations of young people.”

Andy Fairclough ( Director - Flying Fish ).

“Dave -What a relief to hear you are no longer fishing in the same pond as me! I am delighted that after twelve years on the tips of my toes I no longer have to compete with such an energetic and resourceful opponent! Perhaps under the new guise of ‘3greenlights’ we could find a way of working together! All the best for the future.”

Paul Lees ( CEO Crusader Sails ).

"We have always enjoyed  working with David Green. His unique combination of experience, unflagging enthusiasm and contacts throughout the trade have always proved to be of exceptional value. We look forward to supporting his 3greenlights venture."

Peter Johansen ( Sweden Yachts ).

I have never seen a person more dedicated, especially when it comes to something that seems to be impossible. The work you have done with UKSA and the ”Gipsy Moth” project  is phenomenal and will be remembered for a long time. Your charisma and enthusiasm is supporting your skill and I’m looking forward to seeing your company succeed and I know that the ”Green Fee” will be worth every penny.

Mark Docherty ( Mount Gay Rum – Sponsor ).

“We would like to voice our appreciation for your outstanding and unwavering support for our brand. Your humour, personality and enthusiasm encapsulate the essence of Mount Gay and I do not doubt that you act as a consummate ambassador for our brand wherever you go. We are very proud to be associated with the Gipsy Moth Project, the UKSA and yourself personally and hope that our relationship can continue to grow for many years."

Loz Marriott ( Pindar Ocean Racing - skipper of their Volvo 60 and their 2004 ~ 2005 entry in the Global Challenge Race ).

“David Green has always been a great advisor to me, almost a bit of a ‘father figure’. Throughout my yachting career, he has guided me and supported me in all of my decisions, creating custom-made programmes to help me work towards my personal goals. David always has suggestions and ideas to help you get to where you want go and is always there for you when you need someone to talk things through. In all aspects of sailing, from cruising to chartering to racing, David has been a great support to me, in particular to me and my team on ‘Pindar’ during the Global Challenge, which was a big turning point in my career. An incredibly personable guy, David will remain a friend for life, as well as being a truly professional mentor.”

Dave Roberts ( Marketing & Events Manager Plymouth City Council ).

Plymouth City Council is delighted to be working with David Green in preparation for the 40th anniversary homecoming of Gipsy Moth IV in May 2007. The input of such an experienced, enthusiastic and visionary character as David undoubtedly enhances a much anticipated event.

Chris Avery ( GM4 Education Adviser ).

I have worked with David Green for the past 10 years as a local high school Headteacher and latterly as a colleague. In all these years what has most impressed me most is David’s flair for creating, and making a reality, life-changing opportunities for thousands of young people. He has a faultless vision about what’s needed; a selfless passion and energy to achieve the highest outcomes and that special gift of knowing how to go about realising it.

The success of the UKSA has brought benefits to Cowes and the whole of the Isle of Wight. It would not have happened without David Green. He possesses a life time experience of success in advertising, marketing and the marine industry. His humour and enthusiasm are infectious and his leadership skills all contribute to getting the best from colleagues. He has accomplished so much and is now about to achieve much more.

“The Gipsy Moth IV project is, without doubt, one of the most important and successful educational ventures for years.  It has allowed millions of young people across the world to share, in their own classrooms, Sir Francis Chichester’s dream of exploration and adventure. Gipsy Moth IV is one of the most iconic boats afloat today and is a symbol of hope and the power of human endeavour from a past generation. The leading edge technology on board has enabled the gauntlet to be thrown down to a new generation to take up their own voyage of self-discovery and personal challenge.”

Elaine Caldwell ( Voyage Participant Leg 1 + Leg 15 ).

"Being part of the Gipsy moth IV project has been a big inspiration for me. In particular being encouraged by David Green to take part & keep in touch with all that is going on. I have learned to appreciate the small things in life on the back of a man who only took on the challenge quite simply, because he could.

David Green has been, along with others the driving force behind this project & even when things have been tough he has kept on going & going. What a great example of getting up when you are knocked down! One of which I will follow for the rest of my life."

Amy Mayers ( Gipsy Moth crew member from the Academy at Peckham )

“I would like to say thank you to Mr. Green because he realized and discovered what I was capable of and put opportunities my way which would’ve never been given to me back in London and for that I thank him a great deal. Also he has opened paths for my brother so his life could have a bigger view of things. Thank you.”
