I worked extremely closely with Gareth over the 6 years curating and delivering projects in the travel, music and events sector to an extremely high standard. He is extremely talented, results focused and leaves no stone unturned with his keen attention to detail. Gareth has the ability to pick up any tasks thrown in his direction making him an extremely valuable asset to any team and any business. Over the years Gareth's project and account management skills in particular helped to elevate and grow the business directly resulting in our strong and profitable growth. He knew how to rally a team and achieve success even in the most stressful of situations making Gareth a key asset to our leadership team. I cannot recommend Gareth enough and am envious of any company that has him.

Gareth is a wearer-of-many hats in our team and often goes above and beyond his scope. During our time working together, Gareth did not only developed his markets and accounts, making sure the business were getting the best deals possible, he was also creating and maintaining great relationships. Gareth reguarly jumped in to help other teams and functions with their duties where he could. As a manager for the team, he was a great mentor and acted as a glue for us in any difficult situation. He’s highly organised, empathetic and adapts super quickly to any change or adversity. He was able to run super effective meetings with a very clear agenda and helped us understand and achieve our objectives efficiently. In addition to that, he’s an amazing operational asset as he’s also a real on-the-spot problem solver and graceful under pressure. Any company who decides having Gareth on board will be incredibly lucky. It has been a real pleasure to work with you and I can’t wait to see your next adventure!
