"As our matchday mascot for Wakefield Trinity, we've been so happy with Gav's mascot appearances. Every match he is out on the pitch entertaining the crowd, in the stands meeting the fans, and working with the dancers on half time routines. With so much energy for a whole match, i've said to him that I'm not sure how he does it!"

"We have worked with Gav for a number of years for appearances of Gemma the Giraffe at our events. Gav is a pleasure to work with - always dedicated to and in total support of our events and giving 100% every time. Gas is really skilled at encouraging Gemma's personality to shine through, no matter the day! We'd highly recommend Gav to anyone wanting a mascot or character appearance at their event or occasion."

""I have worked with Gavin for several years on many different events we hold across Pudsey. He certainly entertains the crowd and is a true professional!"

Simon Seary

Councillor, Pudsey Ward, Leeds City Council

“Gav is an absolute pro and one of the best in the business. We trust him so much that he’s represented us in character on national TV as well as major events. Nothing is too much trouble. He’s punctual and engaging – and he adds something to every character he wears. Highly recommended.”

Graham Poucher

"Just a little write up and a huge thankyou to Mascot Adventures. From the first message, Gavin was professional, detailing what he could offer, sending pictures of characters and kept in touch with regular updates.
On the day, he arrived, found me on site, asked what we needed and worked with us for the whole event. He worked the crowds and entertained the whole time. He was up to date with moves and kept the families wanting more! Highly recommended!"

Caroline Killen

"We have worked with Gavin extensively for the past 5 years. During that time he has proven to be a reliable and key member of our pool of freelance promotional staff. He is an excellent Team Leader and can be trusted to manage large teams. He our first option for any costume work, always willing to put in a tough shift in the name of entertainment!"

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."

Rachel Robinson

"Gavin has been our mascot at public events and has been fantastic! He was punctual, professional, and so natural in the mascot costume. He instantly embodies the mascot he's playing and brings so much fun and excitement to an event. Gavin expertly navigated situations with unsure children and pets, as well as dealing with the weather - such as heat and rain. Gavins passion for his work is evident and he's a joy to work with."
