Meet the RedStar Team
We're a friendly bunch - or at least we claim to be! Here's a quick low-down on who's who!
 |
Darren, Owner
Darren has a wealth of development experience, having launched a web site for Oldham Athletic whilst still at University and since graduating from the University of Northumbria he has continually worked in development positions. Projects worked on include web applications for Key 103, O2 and PC World Business.
Working hard to nurture our existing client base as well as recruit new customers, Darren is a hands-on developer; search engine optimisation engineer and is also lead developer on our eBay projects.
Away from work Darren enjoys working from home (ahem); traveling to strange destinations (Chernobyl being the most random); listening to music and going to gigs.

Andrew, Lead Developer
Andy joined RedStar in 2009 as our very first employee - a graduate of Salford University in 2003, and has worked for Manchester-based web agencies Visuality and the award-winning Idaho. Projects worked on include Kelloggs, Trafford Centre and a wealth of public sector projects.
We were pleased to snap Andy up, and he brings an excellent standard in development, acting as our lead developer on all projects including the architecture of RedStar Energy - our in-house content management and eCommerce platform.
When he's not working or working on the dissertation for his Masters, Andy is a keen photographer, and has a pet Boa Constrictor (eww!).

Giles, Search Engine Optimisation
Giles joined RedStar at the start of 2010 having previously worked for SatNav giants Navteq and has a Degree in computer science.
When he's not cycling he's working hard for our search engine optimisation clients, and being a multi-talented sort of person also helps out with basic HTML builds and CMS integrations!

Dave, Designer
With almost 10 years experience in the design and marketing industry Dave has worked with a broad range of clients, including start-up businesses, blue chip companies and Public sector organisations. His portfolio of work includes M&S, PC World, MacLife, Freemans, and Kallo Foods. Dave loves producing designs that not only look good but are functional to, in fact he can often be found with his head in Jakob Neilson’s latest web usability book!
When not pushing pixels around a screen Dave enjoys anything that involves getting out in the fresh air. More often than not this includes hiking around big hills up and down the countryside with his trusty sidekick, Sam the dog, himself a strategic thinker and respected marketer.
