The consultancy reported fee growth of 20% year-on-year this spring and is now expanding its team as it onboards additional clients - supporting brands across the marine and energy sectors as they continue to adapt to the energy and digital transitions facing their industries.

Yasmine Moro Virion joined the BLUE team in June 2022, having graduated from the University of Leeds with a first-class degree in journalism. Adding to BLUE’s digital team, Olivia Webster joined BLUE in June 2022, following an internship at a B2B/B2C tech consultancy and, graduated from Leeds Beckett University where she studied Business Management with Marketing – completing the qualification with a first-class honour.

I believe that this is one of the main reasons that people at every level join BLUE and we look forward to supporting our new starters and graduates in a long, rewarding career with us.”
