UK - Key People

Carey Evans is one of the two founding partners of Relationship Audits & Management (RAM).

He has an extensive career in marketing services, having worked in client service for three large US-owned ad agencies -Young & Rubicam, DMB&B, and Lintas - the latter two at UK board level. He was particularly successful at growing business from existing clients, both domestically and internationally, by taking the time and trouble to fully understand clients' needs and focusing agency attention against delivering and, where possible, exceeding expectations.

Carey has led assignments with such blue-chip companies as Anheuser Busch, Cadbury Schweppes, Diageo, IBM, Johnson and Johnson, Kraft, Nokia, Royal Mail and Procter and Gamble.

He is intimately involved with a number of RAM's clients, is a frequent contributor to the trade press and speaks regularly at industry conferences on the subject of maximizing the commercial return from business-to-business relationships.

With degrees from UCW Aberystwyth and Warwick Business School, Carey lives with his family in Marlow

Simon started his career in advertising with Benton and Bowles, working with blue-chip clients like Sony and General Foods before moving to Young and Rubicam - where he won an advertising effectiveness award for Fine Fare Supermarkets.

He subsequently joined Grey Advertising, where he became the first marketing director in a major advertising agency, and was part of the team that doubled the agency's size in three years.

Simon's career then took him into the design industry where he became marketing director of Michael Peters - which was then Europe's leading independent agency.

Two years later he set up his own packaging design company - Wickens Tutt Southgate - which rapidly became a top ten agency with a profile to match.

Simon sold his part of the business to set up Relationship Audits & Management at the end of the nineties.
