Chris is one of our website developers. You can constantly find him coding and immersing himself in projects as well as maintaining the websites of our existing clients. A real lover of gadgets, Chris is known as our resident technical support and is always the first to try out the latest technology or new devices. He has even created a smart home, allowing him to change the lights or boil the kettle from his phone. Chris loves all things football and is a self taught guitarist.
Georgia is our Lead Website Developer with a fantastic knowledge of the WordPress content management system. A typical day for Georgia involves building and maintaining websites for all of our clients. Georgia has a bright and bubbly personality that is reflected through her work. Despite being a web developer extraordinaire, at the weekend she’s a dance superstar, having won the Over 21’s National Grand Finals in 2018 and starting her own dance school in 2020. Some say she brings a whole new lease of life to the kick-ball-change, all we know is that she’s a huge chocolate lover and adores her new pet kittens!
Kelly is one of our Graphic Designers and is a lover of all things print and digital. She considers ‘the idea’ to be the most important part of the design process, and enjoys using this ‘idea’ to stretch projects further and create a more coherent outcome. Outside of work, Kelly is very active; climbing, swimming and playing badminton most weeks. Luckily we know that we can keep her still at work with a packet of ginger nuts and a milky hot chocolate.
Jamie is our tech-savvy Digital Marketing Executive. He works hard to develop and build the social media presence of our clients. Outside of work, Jamie plays darts and hits 180s for fun. He loves photography and videography and has more clothes than he knows what to do with.
Age: 8 years old

Mike is a Digital Marketing Manager with over 10 years of digital agency experience working with clients across B2B, B2C & Non-Profit sectors. His skills span the full spectrum of the digital marketing mix and he has a particular focus on delivering objective-led, data-driven results for his clients. When he is not immersed in a client’s Google Analytics or Google Ads account, Mike can be found on the golf course, cricket pitch, shredding in his home recording studio or enjoying days out with his wife and son.
Debbie is our finance and accounts administrator who has a background across a range of industries. You will usually find her managing invoices and taking care of customers’ accounts. During her spare time, Debbie loves gardening, walking her three dogs and looking after her chickens. Her favourite thing of all however, is spending time with her brand new baby grandson.
Besjona is our admin and marketing assistant. She is a recent graduate from the University of East London where she studied advertising. In the office, you will find her working behind the scenes keeping important documents and files in check. When she’s not working she likes going to the gym, reading, and traveling.
Eleanor is one of our Junior Designers and loves to bring ideas to life. She really enjoys coming up with new concepts and her favourite part of design is when an idea ‘clicks’ and all the possibilities are endless. Outside of work, Eleanor is a keen gamer and can often be found playing the latest pc games (It is no coincidence that her favourite games have a lot of design aspects!). She is also an animal lover and enjoys spending time with her cat, Casper, and puppy, Pixie.
Freya is a copywriter and researcher, who is near-obsessed with the hunt for the ‘perfect’ word. She writes social posts and longer articles for our clients, researching all the topics in depth to write the most informed articles possible. However, absolutely none of this happens without a strong hit of coffee in the morning! When she’s not writing copy, she’ll likely be writing about her most recent read, or cooking an extravagant meal for the family.
