Steve has over 30 years’ of entrepreneurial experience in building and selling successful, OOH businesses.
He has built and sold two independent regional OOH businesses, Vision Posters (sold to Scottish Radio Holdings PLC (SRH) in 1999) and Signature which he sold to Ocean in 2014. In 2011 Signature Outdoor won the Birmingham City Council OOH contract, the largest local authority in Europe.
During this period Steve was MD and headed up all development.
Marc has over 30 years ‘OOH’ experience, having joined Trainer Advertising, a Glasgow-based Poster Advertising Company in 1985, becoming a Director in 1988.
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.
