Biography
Meet Gareth Price
Gareth Price is the driving force behind ForgeAhead Marketing. As our Founder and Head of Strategy, he set up this company for a simple reason: he saw a clear need. Many UK factories are brilliant at making things, but sometimes they need a hand getting their products to more customers or finding new places to sell.
Before starting ForgeAhead, Gareth spent years working directly within manufacturing businesses. He wasn't just observing from afar. He was on the shop floor, in the sales meetings, and tackling real-world problems. This hands-on experience gave him a clear picture of what works and what doesn't for businesses that build and create physical goods.
He noticed a gap. A lot of marketing advice out there felt too complicated or too pricey for busy factory owners. Gareth believes in honest, direct advice that brings real results. We don't use fancy words or fluffy promises. We just give you clear plans you can actually use to sell more.
Gareth is especially good at figuring out how to get your product into new hands. Whether it's a detailed look at your current marketing efforts, helping you open up fresh sales channels, or simply making your product packaging look better on a shelf, he has a knack for practical answers.
Based here in the UK, Gareth truly understands the challenges and strengths of British manufacturing. He's proud to work with businesses right here in Derby, across the Midlands, and all over the country. His main aim is straightforward: to help UK factories grow and do well.
When he's not busy with marketing plans, you might find Gareth out walking in the Peak District or cheering on a local football team. He's a regular person who believes that good business comes from good, honest work. That's the very approach he brings to ForgeAhead Marketing every single day.
