We have appointed 11 new online team members following a string of new business wins worth over £3m including projects for Alton Towers Resort, healthcare provider Benenden and LCD TV manufacturer Cello Electronics. The appointments see seven people join us in Leeds and the remainder at our Russian office.
Managing director Nigel Hunter said: “We have had a tremendous run of new business success which has seen us secure a significant amount of new online projects. Our resources have been increased accordingly to effectively manage the work and are very pleased to have been able to recruit a group of outstanding individuals to join the team.
“Securing the services of Brian Schur, who was previously head of internet and IT development at online hotel directory Superbreak, as head of marketing services online is particularly satisfying as he has an excellent reputation within the industry.”
Other recruits joining the Leeds office are Stephen Liversidge, technical project manager; Paul Mackenzie, user interface developer; Martin Pownall, information architect; James Macpherson, online designer and Lisa Capper and Cara Dixon who both join as account executives.
The Russian office has been bolstered by three new .NET developers - Dennis Buduev, Gleb Teterin, and Irina Makovetskaya - whilst Eugene Nasyrov joins as project manager having previously worked for Apple.
Nigel continued: “We are clearly differentiating ourselves within the marketplace by being able to integrate marketing services, web and business solutions to provide our clients with sound strategic advice and results-driven tactical implementation.
“We believe we are one of the only agencies in the country able to effectively link these three business critical areas and it is our intention to continue to develop this powerful offer in line with the latest technology platforms and applications.”
