Garbett has served on the Spectrum Communications / Caribiner / Jack Morton Worldwide boards since 1993 and then became joint MD of JMW in 2005. He left JMW last summer to pursue interests outside the communications sector.

Garbett comments: "I am really looking forward to engaging and supporting the very talented Action Impact team. The agency is growing incredibly fast and is already regarded as the pre-eminent live communications company within the region. The UAE is an area of the globe I find fascinating not only with its well documented growth but for its attendant communication opportunities. The regions drive and ambition is constantly startling when compared to the European and US communication marketplaces.

Garbett continues, "Action Impact's geographical position also assists in supporting our client intentions extending their respective reach in other European, Asian and Far Eastern marketplaces. Simply put, its the right place right now to truly develop exciting, expansive creative communications that really engages with audiences in their respective regions".

"This is a hugely exciting time for us at Action Impact" says Executive Director of Action Impact, Adrian Bell. "Our growth within the UAE is running at an extraordinary pace and we are delighted to have Jeremy join us to strengthen our intent to be the number one live communications agency not only in this region but increasingly in other areas of the globe as well".

Mike Wain, Executive Director continued, "We're taking care to resource each of our offices with truly experienced professionals and we are thrilled to have the opportunity now for Jeremy to join and lead our main team. His track record over many years of building and leading major international accounts is world class. His creative-led drive and enthusiasm for the business and its people is well known and we look for him to further our success in his new capacity here... Both Adrian and I are absolutely delighted with his appointment."
