Sharon Rogers
Finance Director

Strong financials are the bedrock of any successful company and with Sharon, we know we’re in good hands. She’s a great asset to the team and the company would be a poorer place without her.
Simon Colwill
Account Manager
Joined in February 2009
Having one Simon is good, having two Simon’s is bad planning, and usually having three Simon’s is asking for trouble but on this occasion we’d be lost without him. He’s been with us since 2009 and is loved by his clients and fellow employees.
Simon Davies
Account Manager
Joined in November 2011
Simon (aka Noel Edmonds) is a great asset to the company. Not only is he responsible for looking after his clients, he also takes an active role in recruitment as well as mentoring everyone in the office.
Vicky Morris
Account Manager
Joined in March 2018
Vicky started as a Sales Executive but was swiftly moved to an Account Manager position. Vicky juggles her work-life balance extremely well and never forgets to feed her horses (and children) at 6am each and every morning.
JP Kingdom
New Business Development
Joined in October 2008
JP is a key member of the team with a varied role in New Business, Training and Account Management. Some say jack of all trades master of none but in his case master of all. JP loves a challenge and does it with a smile on his face, although I think he smiles that little bit more when he catches up with his family in the evenings and weekends.
David Amusan
Business Development Executive
Joined in October 2019
David is the creative guy of the office and well-travelled, working across many continents throughout his career. David brings bucket loads of sales experience to the team and is a great addition. If you need a new video shot or learn how to dress sharply (and of course have some fresh new business meetings booked) then David is your man.
Anthony Aprile
Business Development Executive
Joined in November 2018
Anthony is our Italian stallion of the office, he is a keen chef with a great work ethic towards every campaign. It’s a great job that Tony’s sales skills aren’t the same as his pool skills, lets just say that.
Matt Bailey
Business Development Executive
Joined in September 2016
Matt is the silent assassin of the office, you can certainly count on him to give you 100% on any campaign. Matty has been with the company since 2016 and acquired a great understanding across the entire IT field.
Angel Bowden
Business Development Executive
Joined in October 2018
Angel brings youth and energy to the office and makes every campaign she works on a real success. Every week or 2 the office is treated with a home baked cake from Angel, which is great and even more so, as she doesn’t like cake.
Mia Clifford-Gillespie
Business Development Executive
Joined in February 2015
Mia is extremely enthusiastic and very dynamic in her approach to work. She’s always great to be around and brings fresh energy wherever she is. Mia floats between the office and her homelands of Cornwall and boy we miss her when she’s away and look forward to her swift return. Mia’s favourite motto is perseverance is key.
Jamie Connor
Business Development Executive
Joined in October 2019
Despite his quiet professional disposition Jamie is rather a cheeky lad, who can number among his favourite pastimes winding up his female colleagues on a daily basis. He is a true country boy, Wiltshire-born and bred (the accent only slips occasionally), and he likes to get back to his natural country roots as often as possible with regular camping and hiking trips.

Our Retro male version of Carol Vorderman, with a beard. Mike and quality control go hand in hand. He’s our backstop in administration. Keep up the good work Mike.

Ari is very keen on all things outdoorsy and is a particularly active member of the National Trust. You will either find her chilling out at the pool with her fizzy water (OK so not that often in this country), walking on the beach in her waterproofs, meeting up with friends or eating as much good food as is humanly possible!

Rhys Morgan

Joined in January 2010
Rhys loves high end campaigns (the harder the better) and delivers a faultless pitch time after time on the phone. If you’re on the rugby pitch with Rhys it’s best he be on your side being 6’4″, not many people will get past him.

Lyam can pull off more looks than Naomi Campbell in her hay day. He can also turn his hand to pretty much any campaign we throw at him and make it stick as he’s so versatile. Lyam wears his heart on his sleeve which goes a long way with his clients.
Simon Ramsden

Gavin Read
Business Development Executive
Joined in October 2006
A living legend at IT Focus and has the gold watch to prove it. Gav’s worked almost any type of campaign you can think of and his experience is invaluable. If he’s not on holiday or at a festival he’s probably beating someone at pool either in a pub, or on the office pool table, for a bit of cash.
Amber Risbridger
Business Development Executive
Joined in October 2019
Amber is a really positive and vibrant member of the team, who can often be heard before she is seen coming into the office in the morning. She will be the person laughing loudest at a joke, especially if she was the one who told it! She is a Netflix box set addict and enjoys many an evening cuddled up with her two dogs, bingeing on her latest Netflix obsession.
Alice Smith
Business Development Executive
Joined in January 2012
Alice is our regular jet setter from her cabin crew days and still manages to keep the holidays ticking over throughout the year, although packs a little more than she used to, as the kids now go with her. Alice has been in sales for quite some time now and smashes all her campaigns out the park.

Derryn Vranch
Business Development Executive
Joined in September 2013
Derryn or Derp, he doesn’t mind either. He has been with the company since 2013 and has gained a great understanding of the majority of IT Campaigns. If he isn’t putting a result on the board then he’s probably capturing the moment with his Canon EOS Rebel SL2 / EOS 200D.
Graham Wilkes
Business Development Executive
Joined in October 2019
Graham is our resident Brummie. We don’t hold it against him as he’s a really nice chap, and having worked on the cruise ships out of Miami for a number of years, and having lived in Wiltshire for a quarter of a century (yes he is that old), has lost most of his native twang. He has a particular love of beer festivals and will travel far and wide to attend – he has even been known to drag his wife and children along too!
