Olly Hicks grew up on the coast messing about in boats. No one could have guessed that this youthful hobby would lead him to become one of Britain’s foremost adventurers. Olly has rowed alone from America to England and from Tasmania to New Zealand earning him several unique world records on the way. He is now the cofounder of the offshore aquaculture company ‘Algapelago’ which develops marine farms offshore to grow shellfish and mussels whilst restoring the marine environment in parallel.

Olly is down to earth and engaging. His message is one of individual empowerment; we are all ordinary until we do something extraordinary. His talk will be provoking and humorous.

“Olly’s ability to present and share his amazing stories and adventures with such humor and self-deprecating style endears him to his audience whilst motivating them to believe the impossible. He provides great context and knowledge of those who have travelled before and inspired him to take the risks he does, as he takes their achievements to new levels.” Virgin Care
