Shane Gammage

Managing Director @ Who’s Listening

Shane began his marketing career back in Norwich, Norfolk, working as a business development manager for a small up-and-coming social media agency. Over the next 18 months Shane helped the agency grow before taking over the managing the full operations of the business as the Chief Operating Officer. The next 3 years were spent growing the business to over 20 staff and 100+ social media clients.

After leaving this role to become a marketing consultant, working with specialist web, social media and email marketing agencies on growth strategy, Shane relocated to the North East of England and spent some time working at Guerilla Communications.

Despite enjoying the role, Shane’s daughter was diagnosed with autism and Shane’s number 1 priority became being at home and available for his daughter. With this in mind he became a freelance marketer, working with a variety of businesses across different marketing channels.

The enquiries soon came rolling in and it was at this point he made the decision to create a brand – Who’s Listening – but without forgetting the reason he was at home in the first place. That’s why Who’s Listening are a fully remote agency, with every employee having the opportunity to work from home (or anywhere in the world should they please).

The Who’s Listening team have seen amazing growth since their incorporation, working with everyone from new start-up businesses through to household names like Disaronno or fortune 500 companies like Midea. They are true believers that it isn’t about the size of the business, it’s just about creating fun marketing campaigns that deliver results.

Jo Laight

Founder @ HOPE Charity

HOPE began in April 2016, when our Founder Jo Laight, sat down on the pavement with some of the local homeless and discovered how few chances a week they had, to get a hot meal, fresh clean clothes and the opportunity to have some normal interaction, conversation and a little humanity (and hugs! They really missed physical contact and lots of them gave and received a lot of hugs with the HOPE Team)

Our aim is to support our homeless community. This includes the street dwellers, the roofless and the ‘hidden homeless’ – those who sleep in unused buildings, graveyards, their own workplace or even in their own cars; people who are in work, but simply have nowhere to call home.

Since April 2016 when we set HOPE up, we’ve achieved some incredible milestones, such as getting our charity status and opening our first charity shop. During the covid lockdown, we moved premises, to give us more space in the shop and stockrooms, whilst refurbishing the upstairs rooms to provide a Community Hub and a kitchen to service that Hub.  However, we have a lot more that we would like to achieve – our ultimate goal is to be no longer needed – a lot of organisations would be worried about that day coming, but we are looking forward to it because the day that we are no longer needed is the day that homelessness is no longer an issue and our disadvantaged communities are being cared for properly and effectively.
