James Busby

Trustee

My first experience of MBG and The Gambia was as part of a volunteering group that travelled to Gunjur in November 2017. Even during that short week, I was overwhelmed by the warmth and generosity of Gambia’s people, and the trip had a profound impact on my world view which drove my decision to continue supporting MBG and the work they do.  I have been back to the village leading another group for a week.

My career to date has primarily been as a marketer, first within an agency providing website, email and video marketing to small businesses and now within the marketing department at St. James’s Place Wealth Management in Cirencester. I have an MSc in Digital Marketing through the company. I bring my marketing and media background to the charity to help communicate the impact they’re having both in the UK and The Gambia. My specialist areas are photo and video and I have produced video content from the two trips I have been on, as well as supporting MBG with an updated photo library.
