The team - the wizards behind the oz

Sasha is Giles' long term best friend - as long as he can continue the supply of doggie chews.

Wandering around the office with not an awful lot to do, she never the less takes interest in the postman and other visitors. Sasha acts as a handy walking dustbin for apple cores and the likes.

Chris joined us with seven years software & account management experience - an industry expert you could say.

Prior to committing to the computer/software industry, Chris was a professional Tennis umpire, covering seven Wimbledons, the French and Australian open!

Matt joined the team as an account manager bringing in new projects and of course helping Chris to manage existing clients and projects.

Matt brings to the table a wealth of experience from the recruitment industry and has a strong sales background... and remember that fairy liquid advert with the cubs around the camp fire, Matt was one of those cubs!

Tina controls the workflow of the studio, and is our clients' port of call once a project is underway.

Tina's previous experience includes a telecommunications company where she worked for 10 years; 6 years as a technical support engineer and the last 4 years as project manager and procurement coordinator.

Juggling both the studio and clients means she's a busy bunny, but in her spare time, Tina is a keen photographer and DIY enthusiast.

Dani quite simply is a life saver, as her role covers a 1001 different roles, from accounts to reception and back again.

An invaluable team member, Dani brings with her years of experience from agencies and the service sector.

Kieran is our technical support assistant - your first port of call should you have an email, website or general technical problem.

Although joining the company with a relative lack of commercial experience, Kieran has since matured into an oracle of IT information, help and guidance.

Andy has over 20 years of sales and marketing experience, working in senior marketing management since 2001. Andy is in charge of our marketing strategy, keeping clients fully aware of the products and services we can offer to maximize their own online business opportunities.

With eight children you would think he has no time for anything else, but he manages to squeeze in interests in family history research, local church activity, music and his beloved Irish Terrier, as well as supporting West Ham and the New England Patriots.

Mechelle helps Andy in the marketing department, dreaming up new ideas for our global domination.

Mechelle has 9 years customer service experience and 4 years marketing experience, complete with a CIM (Chartered Institute of Marketing certificate). Mechelle has previous experience in the healthfood, hotel and investment industries for the past 10 years.
