Did he wear a headset and wave a red tag at the flight deck. It sounds like he was part of the pushback team. Some places this is done by the despatcher but not where I work.

At many regional airports the dispatcher does this, but it is not normally a dispatch function.
At Lhr it would either be one of the pushback team, the ramp supervisor or the engineer depending on the airline
