Hello, I'm Craig Pickles

“Craig is a brilliant problem solver, able to switch between high-level strategy and code-level detail. He has the necessary experience to deliver the most complex e-commerce projects in a calm and insightful manner. If you are developing digital projects and services, you need Craig on your team.”

— Paul Fillingham (Creative Director - Thinkamigo Digital)

“Craig was always the person I would turn to for technical advice, presentations and pitches, build work and new technologies. He knows his stuff and is a terrific person to work with. He can do the deep tech chat, but immediately lower his threshold of chat for us mere mortals! 100% recommended.”

— Ken Heptonstall (Northern Trek)

“I worked under Craig at Twelve Oaks Software and always found him to be an amazingly approachable line manager.

Craig's management skills ensured a smooth flow of information from clients to us the developers, meaning we could get on with our tasks without hindrance.
Equally, Craig has never shied away from making employees at all levels feel a part of the development process. Being able to provide feedback back to clients is always daunting for those in the rank-and-file of a company but Craig's methodology made it really easy and we were always encouraged to speak up.
Craig has also consistently provided those under him with encouragement, constructive feedback, and indeed, even hands-on help when required - for example on coding tasks. I believe this gives him a unique position in the software development industry.”

— Bibhash Dash (Software Developer - Twelve Oaks Software)

“I worked with Craig at Headland for almost 20 years from the creation of our very first website through updates and rebrands. He was always very responsive and knowledgeable about trends and changes in the digital space. A real pleasure to work with. ”

— Pat Coyle (Rollits Solicitors - Hull)

“I worked closely with Craig on many of the projects and can safely say that his support and advice were indispensable to me and to the successful completion of our projects. I would gladly recommend Craig to anyone, as I know he'd excel in anything placed before him. ”

— Ayat Clay (General Manager at Merry Makers Events Limited)

“I had the privilege of working with Craig for almost a decade when he was Technical Director at Headland Multimedia. Craig was one of the founding members of the developer team and was integral to the growth of the company's portfolio of services and client base. He has outstanding technical, project and people skills: always up to date with the latest technologies, on top of things with his management skills, inspiring his colleagues and impressing his customers. And he genuinely cares, which is why we're still friends many years later!”

— Sam Heeson (Data Analyst - Leeds Beckett University)
