Alex Lepingwell

Former City employee, Director of Sunrise festival

Alex Lepingwell was one of Thatcher’s Children. He enthusiastically embraced the world of finance, champagne and Devil take the hindmost in the City. After seven years he realised he actually didn’t like anybody he worked with, the work he was doing contributed nothing to the world and the entire industry was built around greed and self-interest.
Alex is no longer one of Thatcher’s Children, has very little money and can barely remember what champagne tastes like. However in the world of festivals he has found a tribe of people who inspire him, a job that he loves and reason get up and work really hard every day.
Most recently he has joined Sunrise: Another World and is quietly trying to foment a revolution in the festival world by creating the Sunrise Festival Micronation.
