    Tim Bleakley

    Ocean is a pioneering media Group which has established a unique position in the premium Digital Out of Home (DOOH) sector and is at the forefront of creating a new global medium, Beyond Out of Home. This has been achieved in 12 years under Tim’s leadership, supported by talented management teams.

    Tim specialises in media brand building and media business transformations and turnarounds. He has led businesses through consolidation, private equity investment, exit and flotation. Leveraging a successful career in TV, radio and outdoor, Tim has steered Ocean through three phases of private equity investment, followed by three UK acquisitions and the Company’s full LSE listing. Seven other acquisitions have since been completed, expanding Ocean into Northern Europe.

    Ocean now spans seven countries, 370 cities and 8,256 digital screens in markets which lend themselves to fast DOOH growth using the Ocean brand and ethos.

    Ocean’s position is propelled by a potent combination of the most prestigious DOOH locations, advanced proprietary technology and world class digital techniques which are unlocking the true value of DOOH in the all screen world and delivering consistent revenue growth in the UK, Netherlands and the Nordics.

    A committed digital outdoor evangelist, Tim was the recipient of the International Leadership Award at the 2019 World OOH Congress.

    The company expanded over the next decade to become the leading player in the Scottish Outdoor Advertising market.

    In 1999 the ‘Trainer’ was acquired by Scottish Radio Holdings and Marc was appointed M.D. in Scotland of the newly formed Score Outdoor.

    In 2002 Marc completed a Management Buyout of Score and together with Chris Trainer, formed Forrest Media, as part of the Forrest Group of companies.

    Primarily focussing on Out of Home Advertising, the extended Forrest group has interests in Retail Property development, Hydro Power Generation and Hotels.

    Credited with having built the UK’s first commercially available Digital Screen in the heart of Glasgow, Forrest Media was recognised as an innovator and a lead player in the UK DOOH sector, growing a network of Giant Roadside Digital Screens across Scotland and the North of England.

    In June 2018 the media business was acquired by Ocean, with Marc becoming Managing Director of the newly formed Ocean Scotland.
