Curious to know about our CEO? Check out this quick Q+A.

What has been your career journey so far? 

I began with a Business degree at what is now Oxford Brookes University, moved into sales for Redland Construction Group, and took a year to travel and work across Australia in my mid-20s. Then came my introduction to the agency world. After a few formative years in London with large agencies, working on clients like BA and Wilson Sports, I came to Bristol in 1994 where I met and started working with Steve. The 23 years since then have been a challenging and fulfilling blur, during which we have enjoyed working with a number of great colleagues and clients.

What is your career highlight?

Having provided a safe and progressive place for our staff to work through good times and bad over a 20-year period.
