Clik

April worked at various local digital agencies before coming to work at Clik eight years ago. She’s added Twitter to her other addictions which include red wine, Spotify and bad DIY (she bought her first house last year).

You can be sure of any parcels arriving at Clik Towers will be addressed to April her other addiction is online shopping.

Ed grew up on the Isle of Wight next to a beach. At the age of 18, he escaped/swam to Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge to study computer science.

After three years of eating baked beans and listening to AC/DC, armed with his degree Ed moved to Bristol and started his career at Clik. Hobbies include playing the drums and air guitar.

Phil has recently returned to Clik after a six month sabbatical to South America. He’s a friendly laid back kinda guy who enjoys football, climbing, cycling and erm, acid jazz.

Hailing from Swindon, he moved to Bristol to study computer information systems at University of the West of England. He worked at an investment bank for a while, but found it boring so came to Clik in 2008.

He once met David Beckham and Caprice – “I had to disappoint Caprice by saying I was already taken”.

Johns our facts, figures and charts man. He knows everything about Clik, from how much we’re selling to how many biscuits we eat.

John lives in Scotland and comes down once a month for meetings and a catch up. Like most Directors, John plays a lot of golf and has a handicap of seven (although he’s never had a hole in one). Other interests include playing the guitar (badly), music and photography. He’s also a bit of a dazzler in the kitchen and co-wrote a cookbook, ‘Supper with Friends’ and made £5,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support….oh… and he can speak Russian “Всего хорошего”.

Chris is our resident Apple fan boy. He knows everything there is to know about Macs, iPads, iPods and iTunes, which is handy as we’ve just started writing iPhone apps. He loves to keep up with tech news and is currently learning French.

Since getting married he’s more civilised and has started shopping at Waitrose. Although not particularly hairy, his nickname is Chewy.

Adam is Clik’s King Geek. He has worked as a developer for Honda, Dunlop and a local digital agency before moving to Clik.

Adam sits in the corner of the office frowning at his monitor tapping away quietly. Last year he moved to the country and now you’ll regularly see Adam and family on their tandem cycling around the village. (Adam at the front, then baby, wife and small boy in tow on his bike at the back).

He loves cheese and onion pasties and jam donuts.

Andy has been involved in most of the really geeky techy products we’ve developed; like the Sanyo, Mitsubishi and Toshiba VRF software programs. He’s now back working on his first love which is Clik Service.

Whilst at university he went to work at CERN in Geneva for fourteen months. (Where the Large Hadron Collider is).

Andy’s weekends are spent squashed down dark black caves on the Mendips and practising his guitar.

Tom’s been a developer at Clik for almost six years. He took a year out to travel round Australia where he washed cars, surfed and drank beer before returning last April. Tom started out at Clik as a support engineer before moving over to the development team. He’s been heavily involved in the development of NICEIC Certification Software and has now started working on Clik 4.

He rides his skateboard to work and Chewbacca went to his mum and dad’s wedding. (Not in costume).

If you ever request a training day, Tom is who will turn up at your office. A quiet and thoughtful type with a super technical brain underneath that hat of his. As well as training our clients (his favourite clients are the ones who buy him donuts) he writes all our manuals and prepares the training videos.

In his spare time you’ll find Tom out and about with his camera exploring derelict and abandoned buildings throughout the UK. He’s also a massive Bristol City Fan and once dressed up as the mascot (a massive foam Robin designed by Aardman Animations).

Nancy is the only girl in the support team, but holds her ground well amongst the chatter of iPhones and networks. She has worked in IT support for the past six years for various companies including Airbus and Marie Curie Cancer Care. Nancy has won medals for Irish Dancing but now spends her days swanning around on her bike dressed as toad of toad hall, eating Doritos and making cushions and ‘stuff’.

Geoff started out in life as an air conditioning engineer and as a young lad was always trying to find ways of making his job quicker so he could get to the pub. He ended up writing some software to speed everything up, and then his friends wanted a copy, so he decided to sell it. Things progressed a bit to writing other software programs… and here we are now.

Geoff’s spare time is spent enjoying the great outdoors, running in the rain, cycling through the mud and watching Bristol City and Bristol Rugby.

Paul is a very likeable, laid back and straight talking type of person. He’s built up excellent relationships with our clients over the years and likes to share the odd joke with them.

Paul enjoys mountain biking and fine dining, he’s quite posh and looks a bit like that bloke from Neighbours (whatever his name is) crossed with Michael Ball. A bit of an old hippy at heart that used to arm wrestle hells angels, he also went to school with Stephen Fry and once met Princess Di.

Chris grew up in Plymouth but escaped up the M5 as soon as he could. (Although he still remains loyal to Plymouth Argyle). Football is his life; he plays in the Gloucestershire County League for Thornbury Town.

He climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in July this year and kept us amused with his video diaries. We forgive him for his dodgy jumpers, but not for the amount of time he spends doing his hair.

Alex looks after future and current users of NICEIC Certification Software. Alex is a laid back, earthy type and spends his time camping, walking, gardening and drinking cider (whilst listening to junglecore).

Alex’s claim to fame is that Bruce Forsyth once stopped his gold Rolls Royce to give him two ‘thumbs up’.

Tom’s been at Clik for 3 years after completing his degree at Leicester. Whilst at Uni Tom worked as a lifeguard in America where he met Robert De Niro. (He was wearing Bermuda shorts).

Tom took a three month sabbatical earlier this year to travel round Asia, he’s a quarter Greek and he believes himself to be a direct descendant from Zeus.

Rachel is the glue that holds the office together; we don’t like it when she’s on holiday. A born and bred Bristolian, Rachel is the friendly voice on the end of the phone when you call the office.

A real people person, she knows all the goings on in the building and even got a birthday present from the postman.

Luke’s with us until September, then he’ll be back to uni to finish his Software Engineering course at UWE.

Luke is already like one of our hardened geeks (apart from his love of Made in Chelsea and Jersey Shore). He’s into all things techy and can’t wait to be hacking away at the keyboard full time making software.

He once went to Russia and met a few cosmonauts and spoke to some real life astronauts on the International Space Station.

Ben is working for Clik part-time to earn his beer and pasta money whilst studying Engineering Maths at Bristol University.

Ben has had neon pink, black and bleached blonde hair – not all at the same time, and enjoys playing sports.

Although he has no idea of what he’d like to do when he finishes uni, he did go to the same school as Ian Dury and has secret hopes of becoming a rock star.

Clodagh is our money lady. A Leeds lass at heart but now calling Brizzle home after meeting her Bristolian boyfriend in New Zealand.

Having recently passed her accountancy qualifications, she’s enjoying having her spare time back, you may find her in the gym, but more likely the bar with a pint of Thatcher’s in her hand.

Clodagh was an international Irish dancing champion, she was the original ‘feet of flames’ – until that whatshisname Flatley stole her title.

Rob’s a proper Somerset boy and travels to Clik each morning on his tractor the train.

After completing an intensive IT course, he worked as a trainee electrician before coming to Clik – perfect! His spare time used to be spent running round a football pitch and going to the gym, but that’s all taken a back seat since the arrival of his little boy. You’ll now find him teaching Alfie the history of hip hop whilst having a pint of milk.

Steve recently joined Clik after spending the previous couple of years supporting an office with over 150 employees. When not tinkering away on his computer at work, you’ll find him at home playing Call of Duty rocking out to Nickelback.

He once met Mike Tindall and Zara Phillips in Tesco and had to point them in the direction of the cider.
