Patrick Melville
Founder, Melville Marketing Solutions
Patrick Melville went to Newcastle from 98-01. He did a Combined Honours degree and made the most of it studying Spanish, English, Religion Studies and Cosmology. He got a 2:1, partly thanks to his dissertation on: "The Size of the Universe”; if you want to know the answer he would be happy to talk about it. He loved being at Newcastle and making use of the different activities outside academia: volunteering for Kids Cabin through SCAN, playing in an intra mural rugby team - ‘Golden Eagles’, using RAG week to hitchhike to Amsterdam and running a student version of ‘Blind Date’. Newcastle University has played a core part in his life - friends, education and life after university. He met his wife at Newcastle (also an alumni) and 7 of his university friends are now godparents to his children.
After uni he went into marketing handling client’s budgets up to £40m. He now has his own company, Melville Marketing Solutions, and offers a variety of services all around the theme: Brand Resilience. This can be marketing for companies or helping individuals look after themselves.
