The role at Man Anchor initially came about when Gamble was approached when mental health charity, Gotcha4Life offered him the funding to go full time.
He has also received
further support from the Northern Beaches mental health organisation Head- Above-Water headed by Konica Minolta channel manager Andrew Ward. Head-Above- Water runs an annual 24-hour Swimathon at Collarory beach pool to support local mental health initiatives.
Now working at Man Anchor full-time, Gamble and his team are setting plans in motion to expand into regional areas, such as country towns in Victoria, regional towns in NSW, and Far North Queensland.
He says that his team, which consists of what he calls an “eclectic bunch” of five contractors, each bring something to the table and can be matched to the appropriate client.

“In my roles at Böttcher
I have been honoured to be able to walk into almost every print shop in Australia, and often people would share their personal experiences with me when they realised that I was also the Man Anchor guy,” he said.
Gamble says that since
the beginning, the printing industry has been “really supportive and receptive” to his work. He has spoken to many print business, trained staff, and enlightened owners and managers that mental health
is key to business success. He was the main presenter at this year’s Women in Print breakfast series. He is also a regular Print21 columnist.
“I feel like the luckiest man in the world to go off and
