Bio
Tim Redgate
Working with Tom over the past few years it's not hard to see how he has managed to build such an impressive business organically. His conviction and passion to grow a diverse and high performing agency coupled with his very personable approach have created a company culture that is driven, supportive and a lot of fun. I am sure that the client list (and awards) will keep on flowing!

I had the pleasure of working with Tom for almost 3 years at Wilderness Agency. We saw some fabulous growth (still growing!) and the agency doubled in size during my time thanks to Tom's never-ending energy, inspiring leadership and ability to foresee industry trends & shifts. Beyond growth numbers, it's his commitment to build a diverse team, support DE&I initiatives, foster a culture of excellence & learning, and being a force of good for the planet that sets his business apart from the rest of the independent agencies in the UK. I highly recommend Tom as a leader, mentor & manager and Wilderness Agency as one of the best Social-first agencies out there today.
