About me

I'm a career marketer who loves growing brands and people and doing a bit of good along the way.

My career journey started very traditionally in blue chip brand and media management, I then discovered the more exciting world of experiential marketing, developing new pub and restaurant brands - and also including 5 years as a retail operations director. In recent years I've embraced advising SMEs, start-ups and charitable causes and leading marketing and communications strategies in the third sector. With experience across organisations from £0 to over £2bn turnover, from 1 to over 40,000 staff, and from £0 to over £30m advertising budgets, I have a wealth of insight and a very pragmatic approach to how marketing needs to work to be effective.
Organisations have included L'Oréal, Mars, Barclays, Mitchells & Butlers, Staples, Marston's, PQA, Compass, Community Media Charity, Marketing Kind, Predyktable, The Marketing Centre and The Orders of St John Care Trust.
Having recently stepped down from full-time employment, I am now a Marketing Consultant, Independent Business Advisor and Mentor, I'm applying to be a magistrate, and am also exploring a number of Non-Exec and Trustee roles.
