Bio
Alistair von Speyr
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Alex and would recommend him wholeheartedly. He joined us at a particularly intense time for the business and was required to hit the ground running with very little notice. In his time with us he helped transform the way we were working and form a great relationship with the client, to such an extent that he continued to work with us in a part time capacity after his contract expired.
Andrew (Andy) MYRING
Alex is a very professional, very bright and a great edition to our team at Maverick. He was part of a small team that, against the odds, gave Gibraltar the opportunity to become part of UEFA. as a team, we not only got Gribraltar FA accepted into UEFA, but won four awards for our work. Alex was instrumental in implementing a very successful and highly effective campaign that created a relationship with over one million people and contributed to a media reach of over two billion. Alex worked well with the rest of the team to create a highly successful campaign. He is a warm, charming and intelligent team player and I have no doubt that he will continue his success!
