Carl Mather

Carl has had a long and varied career in academic, marketing and leadership roles in public and private sectors.

Having been head of business studies, he became marketing manager and subsequently a director of Coleg Menai.  He was then appointed as the founding Marketing Director of Grŵp Llandrillo Menai.

The lure of independent working proved irresistible, and he has now established himself in a consultant role to a diverse group of organisations, ranging from Colleges Wales to a fast-growing travel company. He uses his keen interest in economic, political and cultural affairs to inform decisions on strategic developments in the projects in which he is involved.

And now, another change of direction has occurred: back to teaching. At Bangor University, he has been lecturing in Marketing in Cymraeg, International Marketing and Operations Strategy. He has recently contributed a chapter to a Welsh language Marketing textbook aimed at under-graduate and professional marketing students. Carl is a member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing’s Wales Board.

He has also committed to volunteer roles as a member and chair of a primary and secondary school governing body, respectively, as well as the organising committee of Gwyl Felinheli festival.

In the limited spare time he has, he keeps fit through running and mountain walking, travelling to less-visited corners of the world and, to maintain a sense of the triumph of hope over experience, supports Wrexham FC.
