    Prior to joining the company, Jonny worked for four years at Neil Stewart Associates, the political consultancy and event organiser, where he was Director of Consultancy, Sponsorship and New Business.

    After gaining a degree in economics from Leeds University, Jonny worked for two years on the NHS Management Training Scheme.

    Jonny is a Member of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations, is a Formula One fanatic and a keen juggler. He is also fond of a good bottle of wine!

    Jonny’s career choices after university genuinely included the option of becoming a professional juggler! Jonny’s Mum taught him to juggle oranges when he was 7, before progressing to machetes when living on a Kibbutz for a year and then fire-clubs at University. Jonny also unicycles and is the co-author of ‘Club Passing – a jugglers guide to social interaction’. It probably explains why he almost never wears a tie, let alone a suit.
