With a background in creative writing, Richard joined the team in a communications role. Within 18 months he was responsible for the marketing and communications of the successful Investment Escalator project.

As South Bank Innovation continued to win and deliver multiple projects across sectors, the scope of Richard’s role increased. He now oversees marketing of all nine current programmes, as well as developing the SBI website.

In his spare time Richard likes to read crime fiction, watch movies, and eat small plates of overpriced food.
