Before founding Catalyst, Marc held several key roles included Head of Marketing Planning at Oxfam, Head of Individual Giving at Help the Aged, Head of Fundraising at British Red Cross and Marketing Director at Amnesty International. Now he heads up the Catalyst family, with all its quirks and wonders. Outside of work, he is an international man of mystery.

With 25 years experience in the charity sector, there’s nothing Rachel doesn’t know about strategic and financial planning, brand and audience development, organisational change and large-scale marketing and fundraising campaigns. Before joining Catalyst, she held senior marketing and fundraising positions at the RHS, Save the Children and Voluntary Service Overseas. Time at home is spent cultivating her garden or whipping up a storm in the Southwold and Norwich arts scene.

Georgie was a producer of corporate live events BC (before children). She then retrained and worked in repro for print firm AC (after children) before joining Catalyst.

Hates: Bad manners and anything with more than four legs.

With a background in graphic design, Katie followed her passion for obsessive organisation and moved into managing internal development and print schedules. This soon took her into print side before she happily embraced account management in the charity sector. Her passion is her family, organisation and decorating cakes, in that order. She says seeing the looks on people’s faces when given the cake makes it all worth doing – we’re still waiting.

An expert in military aircraft and all things print, Stan has worked in print and direct mail production for 27 years. He started out on newspaper presses, and then moved to heat set offset web presses and sales before joining Catalyst. If Stan could be anywhere, he’d be swimming, skiing or doing just about anything Spanish. A keen Spanish speaker, Stan says his fluency improves in direct correlation with consumption of tapas and sangria.

Founder of the Catalyst stairs challenge, Heather has a fierce passion for health. (Just don’t get her started on back-care.)

Ten years ago, she joined the charity sector and now channels her energies into making sure charities get serious amounts of heart-felt support.
