Tokyo 2020

Grapefruit have been involved with the Olympic Games since London 2012 and on merit, were awarded the Look of the Games contract for the Tokyo 2020 sailing venue.

This contract covered the athletes own personal sports equipment, and also the event branding for the venue. ‘Starting in 2019, we appointed a lead Project Manager for the Olympics and spent two years planning and organising our operation in Japan’.
