Meet the Fuse Team |
|
  Rock and Roll. Passionate about lots of things qualified at not one of ‘em. All the gear – no idea whatsoever. Occasional flashes of brilliance but there’s a lot of chaff to sift through. Works on the creative side of the fence, sets strategy and steers the boat. |

  Our MD and mentor. Smooth tongued Cambridge maths grad blue. Very seldom makes the wrong call (when he does it was someone else’s fault). A god-like presence within our ranks. Qualified accountant, former investment banker rowing type with mad hair who doesn’t quite know how he ended-up running an SEO joint. Impeccable attention to detail. |

  From the dawn of SEO-time, failed rock musician Mike has been enraptured by the thought of one day being able to crack the Google algorithm (sadly). When he isn’t giving summary advice on the worlds SEO forums he can be found sipping at a glass of Pinot Noir whilst puffing away on an expertly rolled Golden Virginia contemplating the influences of retro garage funk on modern techno jazz. He must be really important because he has two fully functional computer screens on his desk which he appears to be doing something on both, most of the time. Passes-off as the lead SEO web-developer. Hobbies include eating - non stop. |

  Hungarian Attila, or Attila the Hun Garian as he is popularly known to his workmates is in fact the 61st grandchild of the fearsome leader of the Hunnic empire, Attila Dragomer – the original Attila the Hun. Unlike his rapacious and cruel forebear of three celebrated Norse Sagas, Attila has opted for the relatively tranquil existence as a web-developer. A good one he is too! Luckily for Fuse (and our clients) a millennium and several centuries haven’t watered down the great warrior’s blood line characteristics of grit and determination which are ever present today as Attila ravages through his daily tasks; plundering the most complex programming issues, remaining undefeated in his conquests to build the perfect SEO friendly website architecture. An enigmatic fella who has taught the entire Fuse team some really useful Hungarian phrases. A légpárnás hajóm tele van angolnákkal (always useful) and Megnézed a bélyeggyûjteményem? (which has now entered into popular use in late night bars around the Chichester area). |

  Having qualified with honours in marketing and communication and a degree in journalism Mark found himself working as a journalist and in marketing and communication roles for a couple of decades before we found him on our doorstep one morning with a tag around his neck saying: Help!, please look after this journalist/marketing type person. After a strong cup of coffee and a marmalade sandwich, Mark started work as our projects co-ordinator. An annoyingly organised deadline junky who keeps us all in check - Mark brings order and direction to the office, reminding us all constantly why we are all here with his popular daily morning briefings, project updates and agendas. |

  After graduating with a degree in Egyptology and Ancient History Joe took the logical step and became an Online Copywriter...obviously. Casting aside his dreams of an Indiana Jones style existence he has carved out a niche for himself in the workplace. A deft hand at the ancient art of rubber band flicking Joe also finds the time to write informative and keyword friendly copy. In his spare time he can often be found atop his horse galloping along the South Downs leading the Mongol hoards minus the big tache and the killing, and the hoards; ok so basically riding along the Downs, no killing. In the words of Gordon Ramsay: Joe, Online copywriter, done. |

  New girl Janet realised her life’s ambition to write for websites after finishing her English and Creative Writing degree and coming home with a first. Poet by night - interspersed with child care, housekeeping and a part-time job modelling for Amateur Gardening magazine. Jan has the rare and canny ability to make insurance sound interesting; in fact her turn of phrase can make anything seem interesting. CV states interests include skydiving, white water rafting, extreme skiing, rock climbing and mountaineering - it’s an offence you know Janet, lying on your CV... |

  Andrew patiently turns caffeinated drinks into factual prose whilst dreaming quietly of blue guitars, green fuses and golden daffodils. Visitors may find him in the corner seat from where all the doors are visible. He believes that public text should be able to stand without knowledge of the writer, so draws a veil here. Except to say his colleagues are yet to find out what retribution will be exacted for the misguided rubber band incident, for his patience is as long as his memory. |

  From his first infant cry it was apparent that Australian-born Joel exhibited the symptoms of congenital foreign accent syndrome - the only known case in medical history. Now in his twenties, he has dropped the thick Russian vowels and instead speaks in the absurdly anachronistic tones of a 19th century English landowner. Having worked in advertising, journalism and marketing in China and Australia, he is now settled in the UK, where by day he lends his gift for scintillating (and, if called for, accentless) prose to the Fuse team, and, come night, moonlights as a fox’s nose. |
