  • Gordon Heald - Chairman

Gordon’s lighter side really deserves a website of its own but until this is available we might start with his love of good food. Even those merely passing ORB’s offices are likely to receive a lunch invitation, so clients really get the full treatment. Not every lunch goes to plan though and at our last Christmas party Gordon lost his lobster – this may currently be roaming the northern parts of France or south east London (if found please call 020 7611 5270). Gordon also loves sailing - despite being unable to swim and a long history of crashes in the good ship “Orbital”. Lymington is the harbour to avoid. We could go on but to avoid further embarrassment let’s leave it there shall we?

  • Johnny Heald - Managing Director

The “Golden Boy” of the ORB office, Johnny harbours a passion for cricket. While some might say the next Flintoff, others more accurately say the new Flintstone. With two beautiful children – Joshua and Rosie – and lovely wife Rachel to go home to every night you can see why Johnny doesn’t conduct focus groups in Kazakhstan and Bulgaria as often as he used to.

  • Allan Hyde - Director

A staunch QPR fan, Allan has learnt the value of deferred gratification. After 32 long years they are yet to win anything. He takes solace in running and music. The former has seen him complete both the Great North and Great South Runs and even at 40+ regularly attends concerts by ‘hip’ new bands. In his humble opinion the best gigs ever are: Pulp (Glastonbury), Prince (Wembley) and Primal Scream (various). This love of music (but thankfully not the QPR thing) has passed onto his son Ben who is partial to a bit of Fat Boy Slim and Nick Drake.

  • Richard Hooper - Associate Director

Richard, aka “Bald Eagle”, is the office Clark Kent. While appearing quite normal Richard harbours a passion for Latvian passenger-train driving and, quite possibly, other bizarre hobbies for which he is equally unqualified. Our most talented Spanish-speaking colleague, Richard spent six months in Guatemala.

  • Raija Teitto Schofield - Executive Assistant

Raija originally comes from the same small town in Finland as a certain, well known mobile phone brand. She moved over to the UK a couple of years ago and enjoys life in London, although for a keen snowboarder the conditions in London are probably not the best. As a career highlight Raija points to her 18 months dressed as a Tyrolean in Peter Pan’s "Flight in Fantasy Land" at Disneyland Paris. On joining ORB she said "no more Mickey Mouse jobs for me."
