Our team

I look after internal operations at fry and as MD I try to make sure everything runs smoothly and that our team is happy. I used to lead research projects at Imperial College London, before entering the private sector as a co-founder of fry. We wanted to start-up a business that reflected some of the freedom that we experienced at Imperial College. I hope the team at fry would agree that together we have created a special workplace with the principles of trust, democracy and personal freedom at its heart.

I love my wife and my kids and spending lots of time with them, which means that there is little me-time. Though when time does allow, I explore technology and where it's taking us, because it fascinates me.

As Chairperson I’m responsible for helping the team achieve their ambitions for the business, which are strongly linked to their sense of personal freedom and enjoyment of work. I’m also MD of Pointer, an innovative loyalty measurement and management start-up based upon the work I did whilst the Director responsible for Global Intelligence & Strategy at 3i plc.

Outside of work, I love family time and sport – playing it, coaching it and being an embarrassing Dad when my team is winning!

I look after key client and partner relationships and fry's market and product strategy. Not quite what you might expect from someone with a background in theoretical physics, but this geek enjoys meeting people! When Marcus and I Ieft Imperial College, we had a passion to continue being part of an organisation where people have real choice about how, when and where they work. We believe that fry really delivers on this promise.

My spare time is spent with family and friends. What's left goes into researching strange, but science-based, ideas about health and fitness, which I'm always happy to share - just ask!

I'm involved in our Java and Plone related projects. I enjoy the challenge of working to tight deadlines, supporting multiple platforms and websites. Being organised enables me to work well under pressure. Whether working on my own or as part of a team, I really love my work.

I have a passion for coding and doghnuts - often simultaneoulsy! I manage to balance this with running and visits to the gym.

I am currently finishing my master's degree in Computer Science at the SUPINFO International University. The work I do at fry involves building web and mobile applications. Technological challenges and freedom are the reasons why I love working at fry.

Away from the office, if I'm not working on some Android application, I'm probably enjoying London, trying to cook for friends or practising kung fu techniques.

Leading a multi-disciplinary team to innovate new products and services. Balancing strategic, technical, market, business and customer needs in selecting, analysing and developing innovative products and services. Mainly working in the IT, software and mobile industries.

Previously at Imperial College with Marcus and Zahid I joined the company as a third Director shortly after the company was founded. Working at fry gives me the opportunity to work on interesting problems with real world applications, and provides an environment that allows creativity to flourish.

My many interests include artificial intelligence, programming language design, kung-fu, playing the guitar, motorcycles, and cats.

I'm a Plone developer, consultant and integrator. My role in fry is to design, develop and then support content management system based web applications. I joined fry in 2008 after several years of Plone development and consultancy in the Czech Republic. I am still very much involved in the Czech Plone community.

When not working I enjoy long walks with my dog or taking to the open road in my Mini - both perfect for clearing my head!

My main role is in Plone integration and Plone add-on package development. I'm also responsible for making sure we're always up-to-date with the Plone community. After I finished my studies at the Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, I started my Plone career which led up to joining fry in 2008.

Apart from python I like hiking and mountain climbing.

I'm responsible for building apps for iOS devices and making our web apps mobile. I also provide workforce for our Ruby and PHP app development needs. I joined fry whilst finishing Computer Science in Prague and after graduation I decided to move to London.

In my spare time I am currently learning Finnish, can be found playing Geocaching, or repairing old cameras and then having a great time taking pictures with them.

I am a developer of Plone based projects. I have been working with Plone since 2004 and always trying to follow best development practices. I'm involved in a lot of Plone community projects and am currently working on several open source Plone addon prodcts.

Outside of work I love spending time with my wife and four kids.

I have a degree in fine arts and over 10 years experience designing online solutions in small and large agency environments and within the Higher Education sector. I am a firm believer in the principles of user-centered design and like to be involved at every stage of the user experience process, from planning through to developing personas and wireframes and finally interface design. I am at my happiest with a blank canvas before me in Photoshop, embarking on a new design project.

I don't do any sports but own 15 pairs of trainers.

I am best described as an internet all rounder, and am most commonly found working with clients during the early phases of projects to understand the organisational requirements and, most importantly, the needs of the end user for the website / intranet / mobile app we’re working on. I have considerable experience in translating client and end user requirements into an information architecture that describes the user journey through the application and drives the creative design process.

The geek in me is at his happiest when writing progressive HTML and CSS to produce cross platform, performance optimised front end solutions and then working with back end developers to deliver complex web applications.

I help make sure our websites are pleasing on the eye and intuitive to use. I've been a freelance web-designer for five years, working for film-makers, planning consultants, charities and artists. I love designing smart user experiences with eye-catching graphics, and am addicted to keeping up with the latest trends and technologies on the web.

When not glued to a screen I like to play football and music. I also love to draw.

I design, manage and support our hosting platform. I fully virtualised our servers back in 2005 long before this was a common trend. I left Computing at Imperial College to pursue a full-time career at fry and I now run the Prague office.

Outside of work I enjoy swimming and long distance running.

I am responsible for business development at fry, handling existing and new business enquiries. I listen closely to clients needs and communicate these effectively to our team to deliver a fantastic end product. I'm also the founder of Streetscape, a charity that provides apprenticeships in landscape gardening to young people (18-25 years) who are long term unemployed.

On July 31st 2009 I broke two world records as the first and fastest pair to row unassisted land to land across the Indian Ocean in 102 days, 13 hours and 40 minutes.

I manage fry's existing accounts. This means that I work closely with our clients to understand their needs so I am able to support them in the best way possible. I also act as the liaison between our internal project management team and our clients to make sure that the production team have all the information that is required to deliver great projects on time and on budget.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I have a strong passion for traveling, cultures and languages and of course, chocolate!

As an Internal Project Manager I look after the team of developers, designers and information architects and make sure that clients needs are well understood, projects are running accordingly to the set timelines and all the goals are met. I work closely with Account Managers and together we deliver amazing projects to all our clients.

I achieved my MSc in Interactive Multimedia at Westminster University and before joining fry I built my expertise as a Project Manager in London based digital media agency. Outside of my professional life I enjoy spending time with my friends, keeping myself fit in the gym, skating or skiing. I also love exploring new countries and cultures.

The expertise I bring to fry is the management and development of technology enhanced learning and assessment initiatives. Following a ten year teaching career where I also played lead roles in e-learning and assessment programmes for schools and local authorities I turned my attention to higher, professional and medical education. I really enjoy process, control and risk and continually seek out new and interesting ways of delivering exactly what it is our clients need.

My life away from work is one of contrasts; A passion for motorcycles, F1, squash and skiing sit happily alongside my love of Victorian period literature, fell walking, and Sunday afternoons in the garden. I am very happily married and love living in London.

I coordinate projects at fry, working closely with our clients to make sure that they get exactly what they want, when they want it. I oversee projects from start to finish to make sure that our clients and development team are all singing off the same hymn sheet.

I graduated from the University of East Anglia in the summer of 2010 where I studied Business Management, and had a fantastic time playing hockey as well as working for the students union. I am now enjoying the new challenges of a professional life, but still find time to get out and about with my friends, play hockey and surf the web for all the latest gadgets.

As fry's people person I help to identify the things that enable each person in the team to function at their happiest and their best. I also provide a leadership perspective on acquiring and retaining the very best talent available. Separately to fry, I am the MD of Happy, a training and consultancy company which has won various awards for its customer service and culture.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, two stepchildren, family and friends. I especially enjoy anything that involves a champagne cocktail or two!

I’m the one that tells the team: ‘that’s too much’, ‘that should be paid by now’ and other financial policing matters. I can be creative too, not only thinking through transactions but off-line I’ve written and published a couple of ‘starting business’ books, most recently ‘Take the plunge’ (check it out on Amazon!).

I also work for eFactory Limited which provides assistance to SMEs and start-ups.

I'm responsible for advising fry on search engine optimisation and digital marketing. Separately to fry I'm MD of Cicada, an SEO business that takes a strategic approach to digital marketing. Our clients include mid-market businesses, trade associations and charities.

Outside of work I lead a busy social and family life. I play squash to keep fit and go fly-fishing to reflect. I get creative pleasure from cooking and I love anything that involves a wet-suit.
