Founder of WheyBetter

We worked closely with Gavin at Titan Brands in late 2023 to scope out the UK Market opportunity for our brand and found him to be thoroughly professional and super tenacious in sizing the prize and reaching out to customer opportunities. He also provided incredible insight and in-market photos as well as value chain guidance that really helped us understand the retail space, the category, and the opportunity. He also went above and beyond in the fast moving ecommerce space for us with a full category analysis provided. 

In addition, I found Gavin to be amazing in joint customer introduction meetings with a deep commercial knowledge of the customer and category and also an enthusiastic and warm approach that is very engaging. We highly recommend Gavin and his team to any brands wishing to enter the UK market. You will be in very capable hands.

Right from the start I have found Gavin to be super supportive and a real source of knowledge and expertise to help us scale. He is a genuine guy who will tell you how it is and passionate about what he does. I am always impressed with how responsive Gavin is and is always available to help answer any questions or concerns. He has been great in improving our sales deck and pitch and supporting meetings and discussions with the major retailers.

The journey of launching and scaling a new brand can be challenging at times, however, to have Gavin there to guide, advise and support makes a huge difference and it is a complete no-brainer to hire him.

''It’s been fantastic working with Gavin, he’s provided a wealth of industry perspective, advice and has been incredibly supportive. I would recommend any founder who is at the beginning of their journey to seek to connect.

Gavin has a sound grip on commercials and an ear so close to the ground, your inbox will be inundated with action points. For anyone new to F&B this is extremely useful, and he is a fantastic sounding board for your ideas, always offering constructive feedback and sound advice. Invaluable. Thanks Gavin!''

''Gavin has been fantastic since day one. Actually even before that: already before signing a contract he has been sharing great pieces of advice to improve our products and overall strategy.

He helped us fully understand the buyers' point of view, create amazing sales pitches and secure our first national listing. On top of that, he is basically 24/7 available if you have a doubt or if you need advice from someone with more than 20-years experience in the industry. Definitely, someone who is really passionate about his job and willing to go the extra mile. We would definitely recommend working with Titan Brands to any start-up and challenger brand in the food and drink industry!''

"For start-up and challenger brands, breaking into the retail market is a tough battle and often not a fair fight. Gavin has been right there with us, providing industry 'intel' and supporting break-in opportunities.

His understanding of our product and our business mission has been vital to building a great relationship. Gavin feels like one of our team and is exactly the person you want to be shoulder-to-shoulder with when the going gets tough."

Jason Clarke, Creative Director

Genius Brewing

''Gavin really is one in a million and a real gem. He is a fountain of knowledge and really understands the food & drink industry, like no other. There are very few people he does not know or hasn't met. Gavin gives practical and thoughtful advice, delivered in a kind and considered way.

He is always there when you need him and has a way of making you feel special.

Gavin is responsive and supportive, and calm in crisis moments, which is essential as a start-up journey is often full of unexpected 'twists and turns'. Gavin is someone that I completely trust, a thoroughly decent bloke, who is a must for any challenger brand looking to unlock their growth.' 

Susan Gafsen, Co-Founder & Director

Pep & Lekker

I couldn't recommend Gavin enough. He is a wealth of knowledge and experience, and he is always willing to help. I founded my company straight out of university, and I had no experience in the industry. Gavin guided me in the right direction and helped me avoid making costly mistakes. His advice is priceless. I can only imagine how valuable he must be if you hired him full-time!
