Bio
Mike Reynolds
I had the pleasure of working closely with Richard as part of the 2022 Brixton Finishing School summer school programme. He showed up everyday with a positive attitude and a smile on his face - and I'll be cheering on from the sidelines when he goes on to do great things in the future. If you're looking for someone that's hard working, passionate, and knowledgeable about the advertising industry...then look no further!

Richard is commited to getting things done. My experienced working with him is that he is focused, committed and a visionary. He will make the difference wherever he goes. A true leader on a mission to make the difference.
