Whilst being an announcer for Five , as Five didn't have a Continuity Manager, before one was appointed Gavin was asked by the Head of Department to oversee and manage the continuity set-up for two new digital channels: Five Life and Five US. It was a big project to undertake and listed below are some of the things Gavin achieved in this role:

- Originated, developed and helped produce the Five Life Channel Launch.
- Continued to assist Continuity Manager with day to day department issues and creative scripts and briefs.
- Designed, advised new work flow processes and operational systems for the new channel which involved liaising with transmission facility. This continued with regular meetings and communications.
- Then in 2007, Gavin helped search for new voices for the rebranded Five Life as FIVER and designed a comprehensive guide and training process for new announcers.
