OUR STORY

A good story, as every actor and director will tell you, needs an inciting event, compelling characters and a sprinkling of mystery. Ours began in 2010 when ex-West End actors Lex James and Zara Dawson were in-between shows. Asked by a mutual friend to find a London home for a certain Martin Scorsese, not only did they source the perfect pad, but they went ahead and installed a full home cinema for the director, who became Golden Ticket’s earliest champion.

From there, things quickly snowballed. Thanks to Lex’s bulging contacts book, unflappable attitude and monastic discretion, word travelled through the film, music, fashion and media worlds where his number got passed around like, well, a golden ticket. We were soon housing a non-stop flow of Californians and New Yorkers in the UK and British creatives travelling in the opposite direction.

Lex assembled a crack team of fixers as impossibly well connected as himself. First through the door was Rhonda George, ex-PA to Robert De Niro, super-networker and master of disguise. Next came Scott Campbell, a real estate gumshoe who senses the faintest tremors in the property market like a human seismometer. Completing the squad is Rod Glassford, the airspace guru who helped launch Golden Ticket into the skies. Together the team have pulled off fiendishly delicate operations across two continents for some people you’ve probably heard of.

Ten years on from our first mission, Golden Ticket goes from strength to strength, coming to the rescue of the world’s dreamers and visionaries. On land, air and sea.
