Who We Are

I bring more than 18 years of industry experience, including time working alongside Pete and Scott, both co-founders of Brighter IR, at Hemscott Group where I worked from 2004 to 2008 and where I started as a web developer before progressing to project manager, and then Head of Web Development. I also spent time working for Morningstar IR and Investis, the latter at which I spent 7 years, working both in their London and New York offices as a Senior Consultant and then Director of UX and Design respectively.

Outside of work I love everything to do with music – listening and making – as well as anything creative such as film, tv, art and books. Long walks and even longer bike rides are also a must.

Hey! I’m Shanice, a Project Manager based in Cambridge. I’ve been working within the design industry for 9 years. Starting off as a graphic designer, co-running a small digital agency. After selling the company, and having a small break to hang out with a super cool kid, I joined the acquiring company in a PM capacity. Now within the fantastic team at BrighterIR, helping guide projects to completion.

Normally found laughing, watching movies, and partaking in a random creative hobby – often with cake to hand.

Hi, I’m Julian, a Project Manager here at Brighter IR. I bring with me nearly a decade of customer service and client service experience, and pride myself on providing quick and accurate support to all our clients equally.

Outside of work I love my creative hobby of writing whenever inspiration strikes, as well as all media, from gaming, books, tv, and film where I like to find obscure gems to watch with friends.

With over a decade of experience and a passion for making websites come alive, I’ve seen it all and then some. I’m a WordPress developer who can make your website sing, dance, and probably do the dishes (as long as they’re not too dirty).

When I’m not coding, I might be practicing my Beat Saber skills, crafting custom leather goods, or trying to convince my cats to be my coding assistants (spoiler alert: it’s not going well).

Working out of the West Midlands as one of Brighter IR’s WordPress Developers I am responsible for building websites for new clients as well as helping existing customers with any support issues or additional feature requests.

Having worked in the creative industry for over a decade as a graphic designer, photographer, digital designer and now developer, I have a good eye for detail with a solid understanding of user experience best practices. I always aim to create an end product that is not only visually appealing but works well and is easily accessible by our clients and their visitors.

When not at work I enjoy getting out with my camera into the British countryside and beyond, exploring the UK and travelling whenever I get the chance.

Hello there, I am William and I am proud to be Brighter IR’s first and only Glaswegian! Working from sunny Scotland as a Web Developer I am responsible for building websites and taking on client support requests.

Outside of work you’ll find me with my eyes glued to my iPad doing some kind of digital art, watching my favourite football team (Celtic) or any other football for that matter, spending time with my partner and son or gaming away on the PS5.

Based in Norwich, I joined the Brighter IR team after freelancing for nearly 10 years developing WordPress websites and plug-ins. I’m grateful for the opportunity to turn our great looking designs into fully-functional, responsive WordPress websites.

Outside of work I’m normally found in the water, on a bike or in a pair of running shoes. I will happily bore anyone willing to listen about my adventures in triathlon. So far I have nine Ironman distance triathlons and several marathons under my belt and am perpetually training for or recovering from some form of long distance endurance race.

Hello, my name is Fred, I’m based in the South West of the UK, in Cornwall. After a few years of working for local agencies and some time as a freelance web developer, I found my calling with Brighter IR where I get to work with some really beautiful designs to turn them into fully functioning websites. My favourite part of building websites is adding subtle animations and interactions, aiming to create a great experience for all visitors.

I like to keep a nice contrast between tech and nature in my life, so when I’m not in front of the computer you can usually find me in the ocean either surfing, swimming or fishing.
