"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
Jon studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics(PPE) at the University of Oxford, before starting in the sales and marketing sector at a rapidly expanding start-up in Manchester. He has worked for nearly twenty years, almost entirely in the professional fundraising sector, and in that time has represented more than fifty different charities ranging from small local causes to enormous international organisations raising in excess of £15 million.
In the 2010’s Jon consulted for a number of professional fundraising companies across the UK, US, Europe and Australia before founding Obsidian Marketing in 2020. Having navigated the challenges of a global pandemic, Obsidian Marketing is now firmly established as one of the regions leading direct sales, promotions and fundraising companies. Since then, Jon’s career has developed into a public speaking and professional training role where he has been asked to speak across the US and UK, and also in Spain and Malaysia.
Lida grew up in Greece and moved to the UK to pursue a career as an artist. Ten years ago, she joined the sales industry and fell in love with it. Since then, she has worked in sales, administration, recruitment, events management, and office management.
Lida has been with Obsidian since it opened in 2020. The most important lesson she has learned is that with a clear goal and focus, success is achievable; sometimes, all it takes is time.

Carlton has been working with us since April of 2024.
He enjoys coming to work because he appreciates the people he works with. He values the autonomy in determining his success, as he believes individual effort is the primary factor influencing outcomes, which is an important aspect for him.
