Gavin has 20 years of experience in emerging market consultancy, working for variety of global brands including Coca-Cola, Mars, Cable & Wireless, Liberty Global (owners of Virgin Media). He is also managing partner of Global Sports Licensing contracted to FC Barcelona, Arsenal FC, FC Bayern Munich and Chelsea FC in Asia. After working for a charity in Sweden where he first discovered Sit-Stand workstations (considered the norm in offices across Scandinavia) Gavin soon became alarmed by the growing research detailing significant health risks & engagement restraints of “Prolonged SITTING”. Gavin founded the social enterprise ACTIVE WORKING C.IC and campaign “Get Britain Standing” in 2014.
