With a traditional finance background Tim discovered the exciting environment of Creative Service to be a better fit and a fun way to make money. He now ensures The Alternative has the resource and talent in place to deliver the goods to the client. Tim also keeps our very important supply chain happy. “Everything I do is focused on delivering value for clients AND for our business. This win:win relationship is crucial for any healthy sustainable business sector. The fact that The Alternative has been doing this for nearly 15 years says a lot”.

One of the original founding fathers of The Alternative back when fax machines were still the rage; the Super Information Highway was in its infancy and PowerPoint had not yet become a plague. “It's been a fascinating journey over the past two decades. The world bears little resemblance to how it was at the end of the last century. It's been pretty cool to be part of leading some of those significant changes in the way we engage and communicate as human beings (least that's what I tell my kids to explain my absence when they were growing up).”

Insightful, playful, fearless and profound. Gavin is the leading creative force at The Alternative. His signature style blends a sharp instinct for predicting human behaviours and trends with a life spent at the sharp end of the worlds more progressive brands. Within moments of meeting 'Gav' you'll realise why he's got a loyal following; He sees the world differently to many and seemingly senses the intricate connections and meanings behind any situation to quickly finding your answer. Direction established, “the rest is just stuff”, he'll tell you (shortly before racing away on a motorbike).

Clients call him a Guru/Therapist. Journalists call him 'very quotable'. We call him, for inspiration.
