Jamie’s career has been spent in the marketing and business development arena at a senior level in both business to business and consumer markets, in the UK and the USA and across a wide range of sectors; these include restaurants, wine, aviation, publishing, professional services, health, internet, retail and leisure.

Jamie also had his own full service marketing agency, specialising in telecoms and technology across all European markets and clients included Seagate, Veritas, Motorola, Cabletron, Compaq and Nortel and most recently co-founded Shoots Garden Centres and he remains a non-exec director and significant shareholder.

Hardly a typical career path but Jamie is not that typical. The common thread is business transformation, relationship building and vision. He creates and re-builds marketing functions, re-positions companies and brands and is a real change maker. He works very closely with CEOs and very often is a sounding board and confidant for broader areas of the business; a hang up of having done it himself. Jamie always looks at a business from the customer’s perspective to simplify the message and does not get caught up in the unnecessary clutter that so often leads to sales prevention. Drive, energy, passion and enthusiasm are always evident with anything that Jamie turns his hand to.
