"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
Jonathan Fremaux
Managing Director
Jon studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics(PPE) at the University of Oxford, before starting in the sales and marketing sector at a rapidly expanding start-up in Manchester. He has worked for nearly twenty years, almost entirely in the professional fundraising sector, and in that time has represented more than fifty different charities ranging from small local causes to enormous international organisations raising in excess of £15 million.
In the 2010’s Jon consulted for a number of professional fundraising companies across the UK, US, Europe and Australia before founding Obsidian Marketing in 2020. Having navigated the challenges of a global pandemic, Obsidian Marketing is now firmly established as one of the regions leading direct sales, promotions and fundraising companies. Since then, Jon’s career has developed into a public speaking and professional training role where he has been asked to speak across the US and UK, and also in Spain and Malaysia.
Lida Vasilakaki
Operations Manager
I grew up in Greece and moved to the UK to become an artist. Ten years ago, i joined the sales industry and fell in love with it. Since then, i have worked in sales, administration, recruitment, events management, and office management.
Outside of work i am normally found Painting, cooking or at the gym.
I have been with Obsidian since we opened in 2020. The most important lesson i have learned is that with a clear goal and focus, success is achievable; sometimes, all it takes is time.

Jack Flint
I have a strong passion for staying active and spending time outdoors, particularly through rock climbing and hiking, which challenge me both physically and mentally. I also enjoy walking my dogs, as it allows me to unwind and maintain balance outside of my professional commitments. These activities help me stay focused, resilient, and connected to nature, while reinforcing the importance of discipline, consistency, and personal wellbeing.
