Outside the world of spread sheets, budgets and contact reports, I am a keen musician and writer. I have played bass guitar in a covers band for the past 25 years, and have also written online film reviews, event articles and short stories. I also very much enjoy films, cooking, and have a geeky side courtesy of my love of video games and graphic novels. 

​

Many years ago, I had grand ideas of being a designer, but after seeing some startling creative when working for a global advertising agency, I realised I just couldn't cut the mustard. I did discover that I had an affinity for numbers, logical thinking and planning however. Yes, that is how rock n' roll I am. 

​

I get asked how I can be both a project and account manager, with some people thinking it's not possible. Yes it is. Having worked for mostly small boutique agencies, you have to wear many hats, and that has been a massive advantage. You learn how to deliver what you are supposed to deliver, along with commercial know how, and all the while being able to communicate with humans without them running the other way.
