Tactful Tock ticks the box


October 26th, 2010 by Michael

Just a quick note to introduce another recent recruit, Paul Tock who joins us as Front End Developer.

Alongside his core web design and front end development skills, Paul’s obvious passion for web standards and excellent HTML/CSS skills have yet again strengthened the departmental offer.

Now very often, on the first Friday night beer, our new recruits provide us with enough inebriated ammunition so we can very quickly humilate them through social media channels. Steve Moon is still trying to scrape off his Jeremy Kyle tattoo, the poor thing.

However, the Tockster has been reluctant to give much up, in fact he keeps his cards that close I wouldn’t recommend inviting him to your next poker tournament. We could probably make an assessment from the picture supplied that Paul has in fact been operating as a CIA operative behind enemy lines on the Afghan borders for these past years. But his CV gives him up and describes years of previous agency experience at the likes of Red C, WRG and Drumbeat as well as clientside experience at the Thomas Cook Group.

We will however be continuing our Tockwatch and as soon as we find an angle we’ll be straight back on here to have a laugh at his expense. Hopefully before his probationary period expires…full rights kicks in…employment tribunals can take us to the cleaners etc etc.

Anyway a big welcome to the Tockster…
