Posted 6 months agoChris & Ben - Our Newest Team Members
Chris - Senior Digital Project Manager
Chris has over 15 years’ experience in the development industry, working on software products, system development and e-commerce. He has a BSc in Computer Science and when it comes to project management, Chris knows his stuff.
Ben - Junior Front-end Developer
Ben joined the DestinationCore team this February and we are already really enjoying having him on board. Ben may be the most junior member of the team, but he keeps the rest of the developers on their toes by continually challenging them with new ideas about best practice development approaches- just what you want from a junior!
Ben and Chris
To get to know them better we asked the all important questions...
What is your favourite place to visit on holiday?
Ben: Turkey, for sure. It’s always sunny and warm, no matter when you go.
Chris: Padstow. It was my honeymoon destination and the food is great, pretty much everything to eat in Padstow I could eat all day long – seafood, pasties, scones, big fat cakes, what more could you ask for?
What is your all-time favourite film?
Ben: Inception. It has a very interesting storyline and I really enjoyed watching it.
Chris: Gladiator is an epic of mine, controversially Spectre is up at the top for me too...
If you could pick up a new skill in an instant what would it be?
Ben: To learn a foreign language. I am currently trying to learn Spanish, but it takes time!
Chris: Mind reading, so much easier surely then having to guess!
If you were stranded on a desert island and could only take three things with you what would they be?
Ben: A boat, a map and enough fuel to get me back home! (Is that allowed?)
Chris: Sunscreen (to be safe), a hat (practical), and Ben because he is bringing a boat, map and enough fuel for us to get home.
Will Wright - Managing Partner at DestinationCore is pleased with the new appointments.
"I'm delighted to be able to welcome Chris and Ben to DestinationCore. They are at different stages of their career, but both bring fresh energy and enthusiasm to the team.
Chris is a reassuring presence as Senior Digital Project Manager, giving us even greater order and structure as we continue to grow our client base and the team expands, while Ben offers dynamic and innovative new ideas (as well as a very dry wit). They've both made a good start and had a positive impact."
View some case studies
NewcastleGateshead
The NewcastleGateshead Initiative is the DMO representing Newcastle, Gateshead and the surrounding areas. They came to us frustrated with their existing website solution – feeling that their current provider was offering poor value for money. Our solution has helped transform their online presence by improving the user experience and offering greater value for their members.
VISIT WEBSITEVisit Southampton
Southampton BID had just gone through a brand refresh and were looking to help bring that brand to life with a powerful online experience. They wanted visitsouthampton.co.uk to be the go-to website for users to find out about what to do and what's on in Southampton. They chose the Advanced core package and The List Events Feed module to power their website.
VISIT WEBSITEAll About Ipswich
All About Ipswich is a DMO for Ipswich and the surrounding area. The website showcases events and offers, and also includes a business directory. It provides easy access to a huge range of content, with the Journey Planner and Itinerary Builder modules enriching the user experience. The Campaign Section module provides a hub for the client's numerous marketing initiatives.
VISIT WEBSITEVisit Clapham Junction
As a BID in their first term The Junction BID needed to make an impact. Attracting visitors to Clapham Junction by showcasing what’s on offer and demonstrating value to the businesses they represent was essential. They chose the Offers and Events progressive web app alongside the Advanced core package to encourage people who work within the BID area to spend more time at The Junction.
VISIT WEBSITEIn Colchester
In Colchester is the consumer website for the Colchester BID. We helped them create a new consumer facing brand, and then applied that brand to the DestinationCore platform to create a stunning looking website. Launched in August 2019 the feedback for this site has been superb. The client is looking to refine and improve the website in the coming months and years by adding modules in the future.
VISIT WEBSITEVisit Melchester
We’ve created a demo site for our fantasy town of Melchester. It’s an idyllic location by the sea, with an abundance of independent retailers and fair number of local characters too. Be sure to check out the blog about a true local hero - Admiral Standfast. Use the 'Toggle' button to switch between the Standard and Advanced sites to compare the differences. Go on. Take a trip to Melchester!
