About ITR
Interrupt the Routine was founded in 2014 by Robert Blackwood and Nick Cowell. Both of them believed then, as they do now, that making people happy is key. Courtesy, professionalism, energy and going about your business with a smile.
In December 2022, Interrupt the Routine delivered its 1,000th event and we’re looking forward to the next 1,000 being done in a fraction of that time.
Under Company Director Robert Blackwood, Interrupt the Routine has gone from strength to strength, adding virtual events since 2020 to continue delivering our signature quality and reaching clients all over the world.
We rather agree with Maya Angelou when she wrote “people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”
