PHP echo stripping formatting in Advanced Custom Fields

I have the following code:

if(the_sub_field('company_name')) { 

   echo '<strong>Company name:</strong>'; 
   echo '<p>' . the_sub_field('company_name') . '</p>';
}

When the page renders though, the company name renders (the_sub_field) but the Company name: does not.

This has also happened in a number of other places in my code when I echo some html out.

Is there a reason for this? Does it have to do with ACF? Many thanks

Solution:

if(get_sub_field('company_name')) {
															 				echo '<strong>Company name:</strong>'; 
															 				echo '<p>' . the_sub_field('company_name') . '</p>';
															 			}
