Meet the Milestone team

Jay Roff

Managing Director

Jay studied graphic design back in the eighties when it was a rock and roll job. Today, her business card says MD. What it doesn’t mention is all the other hats she wears at Milestone. Like HR, IT and Finance.

In her spare time, art-lover Jay can often be found at one of the Tates, the RA or other favourite galleries. That’s if she’s not getting down to some hard rock, gangsta rap or techno punk.

Ian Sutton

Managing Director

After studying marketing and psychology at Stirling University, Ian explored both creative and account management roles in agencies. But it wasn’t long before he started making plans to form Milestone.

Ian has pioneered Milestone’s development into brand consultancy and has overseen many of Milestone’s corporate rebranding projects. He loves developing close and lasting relationships with his clients. (He even married one!)

Peter Wilkinson

Creative Director

Peter spent his formative years designing award winning packaging and websites for the toy industry. He’s a lover of big toys himself, including fast cars and motorcycles. Almost lost to a New York agency, the offer of creative supremo at Milestone saw him jetting back to manage our creative team.

Very much a hands-on designer he still finds time to play the drums when people let him.

Jennifer Gleadow

Client Partner & Operations Director

With her lifelong passion for clever design and fonts, Jeni’s natural home is a creative agency. Highly organised with a commitment to client satisfaction, Jeni manages the Milestone account team. Her calm and focused approach to complex projects is second only to her stationery addiction. Rather than chocolate, Jeni craves Prodir pens.

With solid automotive experience in B2B sales and marketing, she’s often found van-spotting from the M40 flyover.

Howard Angus

Client Partner & Strategy Director

A marketing graduate from Plymouth University, Howard went straight into advertising in the days when smoking and drinking at your desk weren’t just allowed, they were actively encouraged.

Howard has worked as an underwater cameraman, a dive shop manager, a chicken breast stuffer and a costumed pig along with 20 years in more traditional marketing roles in the finance, retail, leisure, IT and tourism sectors.

Matt Pierce

Design Director – Digital

Matt loves working on large campaigns and product launches with a wide brief, allowing him to really stretch his creativity.

With videos, animations and a stack of responsive websites under his belt, he knows how to get the best out of digital technologies.

At the weekends you’ll either find Matt supporting Chelsea or spinning some old-school Hip Hop tunes.

Richard Vockins

Design Director – Brand

Richard’s claim to fame was being 6th in British mountain biking. He’s a connoisseur of Japanese Beer, although his dog is called Guinness.

He also failed in a Guinness World Record attempt to eat 9 Jacobs crackers in 50 seconds. Was once on prime time TV (with an agent and a dressing room and everything!)

Alicia Clarke

Account Director

Originally from Winnipeg Canada, Alicia was a partner in an art gallery before she relocated to the UK. She ran the studio for the Chartered Institute of Marketing before joining Milestone.

She still enjoys drawing and watercolour painting and has sold her work across Canada. Loves travelling, kayaking, yoga and a decent cheese board.

Rosanne Chamberlain

Account Director

Rosanne is an amazing client collaborator, pulling together the best from teams, often from around the world, to deliver everything from social media campaigns to shareholder communications and global websites.

With a background in both professional services marketing and consumer brand management Rosanne brings a breadth and depth of expertise to every project.

Away from work and family commitments Rosanne enjoys travelling and cycling in the countryside on her eBike!

Becca Benjamin

Account Director

Becca joined Milestone armed with a Business and Marketing degree from UWE Bristol. With nearly 10 years experience both client and agency side, she has managed campaigns and branding projects in the education, finance, automotive, wellness and manufacturing sectors.

Outside the barn, Becca starts the day with yoga and fills her weekends throwing tyres at bootcamp. Or herself out of a plane. Or in the sea.

Lydia Navarro

Digital Account Director

Born and bred a Londoner, Lydia has now fully embraced village life in Buckinghamshire. Bringing 15 years of digital marketing and ecommerce experience within the retail, luxury, financial services and charity sectors, she delivers campaigns that grow revenue and customer satisfaction.

While house plants are turning her home into a jungle for the kids and cats, the one plant you won’t find is coriander – her kryptonite.

Hoi Man

Account Manager

Hoi joins us with a Marketing degree from Lancaster University, with years’ experience working in full service marketing agencies for clients including BMW, Mini, Sainsbury’s and BMI Healthcare.

Despite a fear of flying, Hoi regularly challenges herself to travel to far flung destinations like Japan and Thailand. However, you’ll more often find her indulging in retail therapy at the Westfield shopping centre.
