Meet the London Hub Team
Every successful organisation needs a strong team behind it. Ours just happens to include a former Ministry of Silly Walks consultant, a man who once tried to expense a shrubbery, and at least one person still convinced meetings should begin with interpretive dance.
Together, the London Hub team delivers strategy, creativity, operations, and occasional confusion across a wide range of projects, partnerships, and innovative ventures throughout London.
John Cleese
Director of Strategic Nonsense
John oversees high-level strategy, conflict resolution, and the official London Hub Ministry of Silly Walks initiative. Known for turning straightforward meetings into philosophical debates, he specialises in “disruptive thinking” — mainly by disrupting thinking entirely.
His recent proposal to replace all internal emails with carrier pigeons is currently under review by operations.
Eric Idle
Head of Communications & Mild Panic
Eric manages public relations, social media, and spontaneous musical numbers. His communication strategy is built around optimism, improvisation, and loudly whistling when deadlines approach.
He remains responsible for the company-wide decision to refer to technical problems as “unexpected adventures”.
Michael Palin
Global Partnerships & Unexpected Expeditions
Michael handles external partnerships and international projects. Nobody is entirely sure where he is at any given moment, although reports suggest he recently held a stakeholder meeting somewhere between Soho and Kazakhstan.
Calm, adaptable, and permanently carrying a notebook, Michael is widely regarded as the only team member capable of navigating both London traffic and office politics.
Terry Gilliam
Creative Director & Visual Chaos Engineer
Terry leads the visual identity of London Hub, combining bold creativity with what HR officially describes as “concerning levels of imagination”.
His presentations often involve animated diagrams, medieval references, and at least one giant foot descending from the sky.
Terry Jones
Operations & Internal Confusion Management
Terry coordinates internal operations, scheduling, and emergency biscuit procurement. He has successfully reduced meeting overruns by introducing a strict “no shouting unless historically accurate” policy.
He is also responsible for approving all shrubbery-related expenses.
Graham Chapman
Executive Chairman & Keeper of the Holy Spreadsheet
Graham oversees governance, finance, and long-term planning, often while dressed as a knight and demanding quarterly reports from people who technically do not work here.
Despite repeated warnings, he still insists every strategy session should include a dramatic quest narrative.
A Perfectly Serious Organisation
At London Hub, we believe innovation comes from collaboration, creativity, and occasionally someone pretending to ride an invisible horse through the office during quarterly planning.
Our team combines strategic thinking, creative storytelling, operational expertise, and an alarming number of theatrical references to deliver projects that genuinely stand out.
Past Members & Legendary Contributors
Over the years, London Hub has been fortunate enough to work with a number of remarkable individuals whose contributions, creativity, and occasional complete lack of organisational discipline helped shape the culture we know today.
Douglas Adams
Former Innovation Consultant
Douglas joined London Hub briefly after accidentally wandering into a strategy meeting while looking for tea. During his time with the team, he pioneered several ambitious projects including a fully automated meeting scheduling system that became self-aware and refused all Mondays.
His legendary report, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Project Management”, remains technically unfinished after being misplaced somewhere in space-time.
Neil Innes
Former Musical Engagement Director
Neil brought creativity, music, and complete unpredictability to the London Hub team. Responsible for transforming ordinary presentations into semi-professional musical productions, he firmly believed every quarterly review deserved at least one acoustic guitar solo.
Several long-standing clients still refer to his infamous “PowerPoint: The Musical” presentation as either visionary or deeply traumatic.
