Alex 'Parky' Parker
Relationship and Partnership Development Manager
Alex first came to banding when he joined Warwick University Brass Band in 2008. He has since managed bands, helped to establish the UniBrass community and spent time in Kampala, Uganda, working for the charity Brass for Africa. Alex has worked for Brass Bands England since March 2018, focusing on commercial projects and partnerships to develop the organisation's offer to its members.
Alex has actually worked alongside BBE since the beginning of his involvement in UniBrass, where he spent two years as Chair of the Organising Committee, helped develop the UniBrass charity structure and the annual University Brass Band Band Championship of Great Britain. Alongside this, Parky continued to play with Warwick University Brass Band for nine years, five of which were in the principal cornet seat, as well as also finding time to complete a PhD! He still supports UniBrass as a trustee, alongside other voluntary roles in the brass band community.
