Roger Mavity
Roger Mavity’s original career was in advertising. He ran his own agency, Mavity Gilmore Jaume for ten years, working for Honda, Minolta, Hotpoint, Nestle and Burberry among others. He then sold his business to a French group and joined Granada Group, first as Chief Executive of the Leisure Division and then as Chief Executive of the Technology Division. While at Granada he masterminded the communications for Granada’s successful takeover bid for Forte Group: still the largest hostile takeover in British commercial history.
After eleven years, he left Granada to become Chairman of Citigate, the international PR consultancy. He left in 2006 to become Chief Executive of Conran Group. In 2013 he resigned from the Conran Chief Executive role, to concentrate on writing and photography.
He is co-author of ‘Life’s a Pitch’, a best-selling guide to presentation skills. His latest book, ‘The Rule-Breakers Book of Business’, was published this autumn.
He has a Master’s degree in photography from the University of Westminster and his photography has been exhibited in London, Paris, Ghent, Brussels and Amsterdam. He is a trustee of The Photographers Gallery.

WE ARE ALSO PROUD TO PRESENT… SCHOOL FOR ARTISTS!!!
School For Artists is a unique and bespoke 12-month development programme for practising visual artists. Our arts professionals understand how difficult it can be for artists to bridge the gap between studio practice and successful commercial enterprise. We have devised this programme to provide our students with the knowledge and skills necessary to operate successfully within the marketplace and to achieve sustainability.
Our objectives are: To advance studio practice, to facilitate business aptitude, to establish PR and marketing skills, to ‘demystify’ the fine art ‘system’, to implement growth and awareness and to foster confidence in all areas. Students will engage in group seminar, one-to-one-mentoring and relevant professional liaison, in order to attain the skills necessary to navigate more effectively within the fine art industry. The programme will culminate in a student group exhibition in a London showing space.
