why the name “steely eye”?

Founder and CEO Tony Grubb’s heroes were the NASA astronauts of the Gemini, Mercury and Apollo programmes. Men who had the Right Stuff. Men who brought the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission home. Men known as steely-eyed missile men.

Tony knew that the kind of company he wanted to found would be filled with people like that; daring, cool under pressure, focused on getting results no-one else believed were possible and unafraid of the future.
