The Team
Escape the City was started by two of us: Dom Jackman and Rob Symington. We both worked in 'The City' and bonded over a shared feeling of 'surely there is more to life than this?'
We started our careers as management consultants. Neither of us regrets this because we gained invaluable experience. However, once we began to reflect on where we wanted to be in five, ten, and fifteen years time, we both realised that we didn't want to pursue our careers in the corporate mainstream.
We both wanted to do something a bit different, something that we genuinely cared about. Escape the City is the perfect solution: we now spend our time doing work that we care passionately about and through building our business we get to help other people to do the same.
We have now been joined by a fantastic third team member – Mikey Howe – who has come on board to expand Esc to New York and the US.

Rob is interested in stories that spread. He believes that 'just because' things are done in a certain way it doesn't mean that that is the best way to do them. He once drove a 35-year-old Land Rover from Cape Town to Cairo. He owns an orange double-decker bus called Esmerelda. He loves Manchester United.
