Gary Turnbull

Gary Turnbull is a Commercials Sound Engineer with a deep-rooted passion for audio that began in his early years experimenting with synths and samplers. This early curiosity evolved into a professional career after studying Sound Engineering at SAE Institute in Manchester, which laid the technical foundation for his work today.

Gary’s professional journey began at Grand Central (now The Farm), where he quickly found opportunities to work on high-profile campaigns. His first major project was the now-iconic M&S Food campaign, which opened the door to a range of award-winning and critically acclaimed work, including a D&AD Yellow Pencil for A Wonderful World for the BBC. Most recently, Gary was honoured with a CAS Award nomination for his work on Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King.

With each project, Gary’s goal remains the same: to elevate storytelling through sound—whether it’s crafting rich, immersive audio or fine-tuning the details that make a commercial unforgettable.
