Colin Downing - Marketing Director, CMO and Digital Director

Commercially pragmatic with my feet firmly on the ground I am perfectly at home either big picture strategically or rolling my sleeves up delivering the day to day. I've managed large teams, small teams, matrixed managed people across several companies or simply just worked on my own. I deliver, have proven experience and often bring a fresh pair of eyes.
