Miles Gibson

Gibson was educated at Somerford Junior School and Somerford Secondary Modern (now the Grange) where he failed to make an impression but finished a toast rack in woodwork. When he left school, he wanted to be a painter but joined a Bournemouth advertising agency on the advice of the careers' master who thought advertising was 'something artistic'. He trained to be an art director and a few months later was offered a job as a junior copywriter at J Walter Thompson in Berkeley Square.
