our people

Our team has extensive experience in senior roles at times of design, development and launch for the likes of First Direct, American Express and Egg. Our collective passion and the very reason for Gasbox, is to help brands communicate intelligently with their customers.

Gasbox was founded by ex Egg CEO Paul Gratton and data and information specialist Jaywing founders Andy Gardner and Martin Boddy.   Individually and collectively they have vast experience in Financial Services, Marketing, Credit Management, Customer Information Management and business leadership.  Paul was instrumental in the launch of both First Direct and Egg; he also holds a number of non executive directorships, with a particular penchant for start-ups.   Andy is the CEO of Jaywing and has also held roles as Egg's Credit Director and Customer Information Director with senior roles in First Direct previously.  Martin is an experienced marketer who was Marketing Director for Guardian Direct as well as a senior marketer at First Direct from its inception; he has spent the past 15 years in marketing consultancy.

Managing Director Chris Hancock has spent many more years than he cares to mention in senior roles helping companies to improve their dialogue with customers. He is passionate in his quest to prove that you can generate real emotional commitment from customers by integrating innovative, expert data management with outstanding customer facing representatives.  His credentials are outstanding, having begun his career at Barclays before joining the launch team at First Direct, and then going on to become head of customer services. Following that, he moved on to head up customer services at American Express before joining Egg to head up the contact centre.

Chris is supported by a strong management team that shares his ethos.
