Bio
William Niven
Where do I start! Oli joined us during one of the most challenging periods to date due to the global pandemic. This meant interviewing and hiring Oli completely remotely. Having never met in person I was naturally skeptical to say the least. Since then Oli has consistently exceeded our expectations, tackling each challenge thrown his way without batting an eyelid, and proving that he is a well-rounded individual that shows initiative and enthusiasm in everything he's involved in. Oli has recently been promoted to our Head of Web where his new role is now managing the web department, onboarding new clients, improving internal processes plus more. In the short time since he has been in this role we are already seeing the impact and I'm excited to see how he develops both personally as well as his department in the coming months. In summary, an awesome guy to have by your side! Keep up the good work Oli.
