The Team

Anthony started his working life training as a screen printer, learning about screen making and printing onto various substrates, dragging a squeegee across a silk screen for what seemed like an eternity, Anthony soon realised the opportunities in this field would be limited.

Wanting more reward for his efforts Anthony decided that moving into a sales role would be advantageous. After many years working as a sales executive within the Exhibition industry Anthony built up a strong client base consisting mostly of large Blue chip companies.

Now Sales Director of Guardian Display Anthony is directly responsible for the sales of the business. His role is to help with the continuous growth of the company and finding new ways to improve profitability. The many years of being involved in the exhibition and events industry has seen Anthony work with some of the largest and well known organisations in the UK, helping to provide high quality turn key solutions for their exhibition or event requirements.

Anthony is very much the family man with a wife and 2 young children, who keep him very busy. On a Sunday morning he can be found donning his football boots to try and re-kindle former glory.

After 2 years gaining knowledge and industry experience with a graphic design company, she joined Guardian Display as a Designer. Hannah’s responsibilities involve creating 3D visualisations and proofing client artwork before print to ensure its quality, as well as being heavily involved with the company’s marketing campaigns.

Wayne is the type of guy that you’ll enjoy being around, not only in a professional capacity but socially as well. His friendly, outgoing personality brings people together and leaves a smile on their face.

Early in Wayne’s career he started in the world of sales within the leisure industry for premium health clubs, where he developed the skills to be an effective sales and service provider.

Wayne has brought superb client relations to Guardian Display as well as attention to detail and the willingness to go that extra mile to insure every client’s exhibition stand looks actually how they envisioned. In essence, Wayne is the key link between sales and the field.

It has been said from Guardian Display clients about Wayne – “his skills put us to shame” and “not only was the install fantastic, he was good company as well”. All in all Wayne has been entrusted to deliver exceptional service to our many clients exhibition needs and represents the brand proudly every time he steps outside of the showroom.

Away from Guardian Display duties, Wayne can be found at his local non league football club (Southend Manor FC) every Saturday where he relishes the challenge as the reserve team manager, emulating the great Bill Shankly. 

Brad "Rocky" Gordon has been a part of the Guardian Display team since the company first opened its doors. A keen eye for detail and a determination to complete a job to perfection has given Brad a comprehensive array of skills within the industry. Brad has travelled across the UK & Europe to deliver a first-class installation service to our clients, and his drive to be the best at what he does gives our company an important edge over our competitors.

In his spare time, Brad competes as an amateur boxer, and as a youngster went face to face with legendary British boxer Ricky Hatton. Brad only lost the match on a point’s decision, despite being the underdog and thus earned the nickname of "Rocky."
