Jacob is a Creative Consultant with Artizan Gallery, overseeing their annual exhibition programme and engagement with local artists. A brief migration away from the bay opened his eyes to the potential of the area as a destination for cultural tourism, with an exceptional quality arts and heritage offer, and stunning coastal scenery. Through his work, he hopes to share this revelation with other residents and encourage pride and innovative thought in the place they live.  Jacob was appointed as Chair of Torbay Culture in 2019.
