Welcome our new Tech Champions

If you’re subscribed to our newsletter, last month you may have seen us introduce Ollie, our new Digital Marketing Tech Champion. Well we thought we’d take this chance in between newsletters to give you the low down on all three of our new starters.

Who are our new Tech Champions?
