I can trace my relationship with computers back to my early school days, when I was sat in front of a shared computer on wheels, playing a game called Granny’s Garden on a BBC Micro. Using a computer was a real treat; we didn’t have a computer in my primary school, so we had to walk a mile down the road to ‘the big school’ to use one. My fascination with computers and the media continued to grow, and after earning a degree at the University of Bradford I began my career in digital.

Since I started my career as an SEO Consultant I have been fortunate to work on many exciting campaigns, from large multilingual international SEO, to small start-ups backed by some of the biggest names in retail.
