Gavin Sargent

Board Member

Born and educated in Norwich, my working life has been spent in media, manufacturing, wholesaling and logistics, with much of that time spent in the textile industry.

I began in junior management with a fabric manufacturer in Nottingham, working with yarn suppliers, internal stakeholders, sub-contracted dyehouses and ultimately our entire customer base. This gave me suitable experience to lead me into supply chain production and demand management roles with a variety of lingerie own-label manufacturers and brands. My final career position before returning to my homeland was as Operations Director at Panache Lingerie in Sheffield.

Since moving back to Norwich in 2010 I have enjoyed the challenge of several consultancy and voluntary opportunities, and was Captain of Eaton Golf Club in 2016. I am a season ticket holder at Carrow Road and continue to watch my golf handicap continue in the wrong direction every year.
