Roger Mavity founded his own advertising agency, Mavity Gilmore Jaume, in 1981. After ten successful years, he sold the business and became Chief Executive of Granada Group’s leisure division. There he led the pitch for the company’s takeover of the Forte Group – still the biggest hostile takeover bid in British commercial history.
In 2002, he was made Chairman of Citigate, one of the UK’s most respected financial PR companies; and in 2006 he became Chief Executive of the Conran Group.
He left the Conran Group in 2013 to concentrate on writing and photography. His artworks have been exhibited in London, Paris, Brussels, Ghent and Amsterdam, and he is a trustee of Pallant House Gallery in Chichester.
