We are excited to welcome two new members to Team DC. Find out a little bit more about them.
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!
To get to know them better we asked the all important questions...
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?
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...
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!
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."
