Harleys

Nick Cottle

CEO

Nick's 26 years in business have seen him through many eras: the heady ad world of the eighties, the recession of the nineties, the digital boom of the millennium - and yes, another recession as well. The fact that Harleys has remained agile, stable and successful throughout is testimony not only to how he looks after the company, but also to his acute understanding of our clients and their needs.

Terry Davies

Executive Director

Terry is a uniquely double-sided professional. He is academically trained in both business and creative design. He has worked in client-side roles as well as having 20 years of agency experience. This gives him a depth perspective which makes him uniquely valuable both to Harleys and its clients - he has the rare ability to see commercial and the creative factors in equal measure.

Alan Robinson

Production Director

Alan is one of the world's most organised people. No matter how many projects and tasks he's juggling, with him you can always expect a calm voice at the end of the phone. In addition, his truly transparent approach to work means that our clients always remain aware and informed.

Ken Hale

Creative Director

Ken is remarkably bifocal. Looking at any project, no matter how large or small, he will always have one eye on the meticulous detail that makes good design great. But with the other eye he'll be taking a step back from the project, putting himself in the client's shoes and asking questions that your average creative wouldn't even consider.

Andy Gibbard

Head of Content

Andy's passion for the English language led him to try everything from journalism to novels to teaching before finally settling in the creative industry. Rather than looking at text as an isolated element, he has a distinct ability to craft entire projects, creating a perfect fit between strategy, message, channel and words.

Paul Martin

Head of Creative

Paul is broadly-skilled. He has a track record of generating proven ROI – and at the same time he consistently delivers stunning visual appeal. His experience spans planning and designing for B2B and B2C brands across a huge range of core sectors.

Chris Taylor

Head of Digital

Chris loves it when people say 'I know what I want, but I don't know how to achieve it' - because that's exactly what he's an expert in. As well as having the skills to deliver projects he's a master at picking apart briefs, guiding clients to solutions by using the right digital channels in the right ways.
