An unusual agency, and some extraordinary people
Merope Beddard
Client Services Director
With over fifteen years’ agency experience, Merope heads up the account handling team at AML. When she’s not busy building brands, nurturing client relationships or listening to Radio 6, you’ll find her sprinting down the streets of Clerkenwell (she’s an active member of AML’s running club).Jack Howell
Account Manager
Channeling his knack for coordinating campaigns, Jack has managed to corral creatives and account handlers into AML’s five-a-side team. When he’s not commanding the football pitch, he’s salivating over plans for his next culinary escapade.Rowena Turrell
Management Accountant
Rowena has brought over twenty years’ experience in the industry to AML and is just as excited by putting in new processes as she is keeping the numbers in check: ‘There’s never been a dull moment’ she asserts. When not deep in forests of figures, Rowena loves nothing more than getting out to the theatre, the ballet, the opera or a gig - with ‘a spot of yoga or a gong bath’ thrown in to ensure that she maintains her equilibrium and keeps those pesky numbers thoroughly crunched.Dan Anderson
Head of Delivery
A highly experienced, cross-discipline project director, Dan is the man when it comes to making sure AML delivers. He enjoys 10k runs along the Brighton seafront, as well as pilgrimages up and down the country to watch his beloved Brighton and Hove Albion. Dan also likes to cook pig’s head with langostines. It is, he assures us, delicious.
Silvia Cutrera
Junior Copywriter
Copywriter by day, ukulele-armed-wannabe-comedian by night, Silvia’s life is quite different from her old days as a lawyer in Italy. Still, now as before, she loves to eat, sing, and talk a lot. With her hands, of course.Mat Carpenter
Visualiser/Artworker
In his time before AML, Mat worked in high-end fashion and the publishing world - enhancing images for some of the world’s most prestigious brands. Outside work, Mat’s an F1 obsessive, though as he says, “I’ll watch anything if it’s on a race track”. The high-octane thrills aren’t confined to the trackside however; snowboarding season will find him performing ‘Canadian Bacons’, ‘Cross-rockets’, and ‘Super-Mindys’ wherever the powder is freshest.David Walton
Business Director
Account man, footballer and drummer, David’s interests are as diverse as the brands he’s worked on. With nearly two decades of agency experience, he’s seen it all in adland. Oh, and he’s also a DIY enthusiast with a tool shed that’s ‘equipped to handle anything’.Stephen O'Neill
Art Director
An award-winning, all-round creative type, Stephen once played for St. Mirren and now runs a website dedicated to vernacular typography. He is yet to launch a sister site celebrating his taste for bridies.Christian Barnes
Strategy Director
Christian heads up the AML strategy team and has over 35 years’ experience of working with clients from household automotive and FMCG brands such as P&G, Cadbury and Perrier - to financial, educational, charitable, chartered and legal organisations. Outside work, Christian intends to ski and sail as long as his knees and his bank manager support him - but is more often to be found watching rugby, ballet, film or theatre - or, indeed, the foam atop a hoppy IPA.
Tim Lloyd
Managing Director
Since being tricked into doing a presentation in a nurse’s uniform when he started working at Allison Mitchell back in 1993, Tim has moved from the role of trickee to master trickster. Outside of work (and that outfit) his preferred pastimes revolve around horse riding, flying and driving tractors.Ian Henderson
CEO
Endlessly fascinated by business, brands and human behaviour, Ian brings extensive experience to his role as creative director, strategist, writer and agency head. His varied interests also include bikes and boats, but they’ve both proven tricky to enjoy inside the agency – so far.Eleonora Rimini
Marketing Manager
Eleonora recently completed a languages degree, which she followed up with a year of valuable experience working in two in-house brand-marketing roles in Europe. Fluent in both French and Italian, her continentally acquired addiction to coffee sees her endlessly scouring London for that perfect cappuccino.Hobie Walker
Head of Wellbeing
Experienced counsellor and our second UK Jitterbug Champion, Hobie holds the agency together without even breaking a sweat. She enjoys running, dancing, tennis and watching athletics, as well as sneaking in the odd cinnamon bun from Gail’s bakery.Lucy Rogers
Business Director
Lucy has seen it all in client services and prides herself on being truly unflappable – an invaluable trait among AML’s account handlers. Two things she’s sure to lose her cool around though are her twin loves of food and dogs. Throw in a beach and she’s pretty much in heaven.
