Biography
He started his career in advertising, setting up his own firm, Mavity Gilmore in 1981. He sold Mavity Gilmore in 1991 and joined Granada Group, where he was Chief Executive of the Leisure Division and then the Technology Division. He also handled PR and communications for Granada's bid for the Forte Group, still the largest successful hostile takeover in UK commercial history. In 2003 he left to join communication consultancy Citigate Dewe Rogerson as Chairman. In 2006 he became Chief Executive of Conran Holdings, the parent company of Terence Conran's business empire. In 2013 he left Conran to concentrate on writing and photography.
He is, with Stephen Bayley, co-author of Life's a Pitch, a best-selling guide to presentation skills. In 2013, he brought out The Rule-Breakers Book of Business, an anarchic guide to business success. He has also written articles for several British newspapers, including The Observer., The Independent and The Times, and he speaks regularly about business.
He has worked as an art photographer since 2008 when he graduated from the University of Westminster with a master's degree in Photographic Studies. His first one-man photography show was held at London's Rebecca Hossack Gallery in March 2009. He has since had one-man shows in London and in Belgium, and his work has been exhibited in art shows in Paris, Amsterdam, Ghent, Brussels and London. He is also a trustee of The Photographers Gallery in London.
