"We’ve had the pleasure of working with Gavin at Mascot Adventures for the past three years, and I can confidently say I’ve never worked with anyone more professional in my entire career. Gavin’s genuine passion for creating magical moments for every child is truly unmatched. He’s not only a wonderful complement to our Princesses, but his interactions are authentic, memorable, and nothing short of enchanting. His costumes are also impeccably curated, high-quality, premium, and crafted with exceptional attention to detail. Without question, he is the best mascot we’ve had the joy and honour of working with. We wholeheartedly recommend him to every client. Thank you, Gavin, for bringing a smile to our faces with every encounter"

Sarah Elston

Slink Staffing, Director

"Gav has supported Leeds Hospitals Charity as a mascot volunteer since 2019, and in that time he has volunteers as Ernie - our big purple owl! - many many times, supporting us at events and for various promotional needs.

Gav has a true gift for being a mascot. When he becomes Ernie, he completely embodies the character and brings the big, purple owl to life. His movements are so expressive, and I've seen people of all ages flock to say hello and take a photo. Getting to see Ernie (Gav) put smiles on childrens faces in our Children's Hospital is truly magical."

From bringing Sonic the Hedgehog to life at children's soft play centres, to performing as various animal mascots for pet store openings, and even embodying a monster mascot for a popular snack brand's TikTok promotions, Gavin has consistently delivered outstanding performances. He is reliable, enthusiastic, and always fully committed to every role he takes on.
