Gregory is joined by longtime collaborator, Charlie Morris who has been appointed as Head of Colour Production, Advertising.

In his new role, Gregory will report to Dan Bennett, Managing Director of Advertising in the UK, and collaborate closely with Harbor’s Head of Colour in North America, Oisin O’Driscoll to expand the global colour offering for the company’s Advertising division. This strategic appointment comes at a crucial time as Harbor’s advertising division expands its VFX, colour, and sound capabilities for the UK market.
As a brand, Harbor is at the forefront of where creativity meets technology, and the quality and consistency of its work across both entertainment and advertising speaks for itself. I’m incredibly excited to join the team and for all the plans we have in place already. The international roster of colour talent is second to none and I’m both humbled and excited to not only be a part of it, but also to be tasked with helping to grow the UK’s Advertising offering across colour and VFX at the same time.
