“Richard’s introduction of the British Bash and engagement of a younger generation has been a game changer for the charity. For every Bash, Rich has helped us secure the celebrity honoree.”

Anna Titley
Former Executive Director, St George’s Society of NY
"Richard is an outstanding individual motivated by integrity, altruism and a professional generosity that sets him apart. He works to the highest set of standards and has developed a loyal, far reaching and impressive network of business and sporting connections across the globe. He is often referred to as the ‘connector’ and is able to facilitate excellent results through his dedicated ability to link working professionals together for the common good. When you work with Richard, planning moves effortlessly from blue sky, bigger picture thinking to the essential practical concerns to bring ideas to fruition – the working experience is creative, forward looking and highly original in its outlook."

Kate Bailey
Founding Head of School, Wetherby-Pembridge School
"We worked with Captain’s Knock from 2008-15. Rich bought to us a concept and then executed it perfectly helping us reach new international audiences and raise considerable sums for our paediatric medical research programme. It also helped us engage celebrities we might not otherwise have done by having a New York based activity in our portfolio of events."
