Gareth is a passionate marketing and business strategist with over 20 years experience gained client and agency side. Having worked across multiple industry sectors including experiential and digital marketing, retail, financial services, publishing, and printing, he truly understands how to amplify a brand through the increasing communications noise of modern society.

With a wealth of events and experiential knowledge across sectors including aerospace, luxury, and tourism, Gareth was introduced by Craig to the ‘Ode to Concorde’ film team in early 2015 and quickly identified the exciting commercial potential of enhancing the beautiful film production with experiential elements – and thus during this meeting, in the historic Blacks Club in Soho, between Chris Purcell, Paul Darter, Craig and Gareth, the ‘Spirit of Concorde’ concept was born.
