Robin’s connection to Plymouth began with submarines, but the city quickly became both a family home and a base for his international business ventures. A long-standing supporter of Barbican Theatre, Robin first fell in love with its bold, alternative spirit when the bar was still in The Fisherman’s Arms! He previously chaired the organisation through a major revamp, championing its education and community theatre work. Robin brings his wealth of experience and enduring passion for creative enterprise. He continues to be inspired by the team’s ability to reimagine and lead in challenging times, seeing Barbican Theatre as a vital cultural beacon for Plymouth and beyond.
