Bio
Naomi Biltcliffe
George Vann is truly one of a kind. He is unlike anyone else in sales and marketing due to how much he genuinely cares about those he works with - colleagues, clients and suppliers. He has an uncanny ability to make people feel comfortable and open up about what they want and need in business which makes him an unrivalled asset to any company. It speaks volumes that as a result of working together George has become one of my closest friends and someone I value very highly.
Graeme Baker
George has the incredible ability to be, fun and reliable, compassionate and passionate about his work and the work being produced around him. He is a delight to work with around the office. He is always striving for bigger and better work and to push the work the agency is producing and wants to be known for. He has always been there believing we can do more and can do better, and then he follows it up with delivering the work for us to do. He is a great people person and terrific strategically-minded business person.
