What attracted me to the tree?
I’ve always had an eye for success, whether it’s commercial or otherwise. The prospect of building something new with the tree was too good to turn down – it’s a young, exciting organisation that’s ready to blossom.
My experience
I’ve spent many years as a professional marketeer and communicator, with a career stretching from Procter and Gamble, Arthur Guinness, through Grampian Holdings to be MD of Saatchi Direct in Edinburgh. Highlights include the building of an agency, taking turnover from £6m to £26m in just 3 years; and the creation of the National Neighbourhood Watch Association as part of General Accident’s (now Aviva) programme of Corporate Social Responsibility.
In 1995 I joined dbda, the CSR/Education agency, responsible for the long running campaigns and programmes with Zurich, BP, BMW, and Marks and Spencer, amongst others.

The welcoming atmosphere instantly had an impact on me
The tree is a place where friendships are made, as well as some pretty awesome campaigns.
