Welcome to the who’s who of TWA. Here you can find out more about the people behind the names and services on offer. We all recognise that work is important, but who we are is just as vital when it comes to working together and doing real marketing magic for your business.
So, if you genuinely couldn’t be in the same room as an Aston Villa supporter, then don’t even bother to check the profile of Joint Managing and Creative Director Ed Thomas.
As for Paul Winters bio, if you’re afraid of flying or have no interest in waste management then give that a miss too.
