As founder of BlueRunner, Chris is responsible for keeping the big wheel turning and inspiring the team to do a great job for our clients every single day. His favourite bit of tech is the mobile phone, those that know him will say it never leaves his side and needs surgically removing! In his younger years, he tried to woo a Spanish Fallera in Valencia with his Spanish, but instead of calling her beautiful he called her sister. If only he had his mobile phone, then he could have used Google Translate.

Claire supports the team from a marketing strategy and activation perspective – taking each of our platforms, articulating them beyond technical speak and packaging them up (with the help of Gess to make them look super sexy) so that clients can easily understand the features, advantages and importantly, the benefits that they can enjoy from each. Claire’s claim to fame is being on the Big Breakfast as ‘Family of the Week’ alongside Gaby Roslin, Chris Evans and Paula Yates, though luckily you can’t find any trace of it on the internet so the experience is easy to forget.

Alex joined us after 16 years at M&S. He sees his role as understanding our clients needs from the get go, supporting them to practically solve the challenges they face and working with them to deliver smooth project roll outs… all whilst building great relationships! Alex recently funded his flights, accommodation and spending money for his best friend’s stag in Marbella entirely from his eBay APP, which is his new-found, favourite bit of digital tech. His girlfriend is yet to notice the amount of stuff that has just ‘disappeared’ from his house, but we’re guessing he may be in trouble when she does.

Responsible for transforming conceptual ideas into dynamic, yet workable user friendly designs, Craig loves the artistry involved in his role. Out of work he’s just as creative – Craig’s an artist working in alternative pop/tattoo art, which apparently means he draws lots of skulls.

Jan’s role is to transform user requirements into lines of code and ghost bust when necessary - oh and almost as important, he’s responsible for replacing the water bottle from the cooler in the office. Jan admires simple tech things – like paying with a tap or tracking your bus/train from your phone – the kind of things designed to make our lives easier.

Ian’s commitment to the business is to strategically guide the senior team in doing the absolute best for shareholders, clients and team members.Ian’s favourite bit of tech is his Strava cycling APP which allows him to monitor his performance and make improvements. And his claim to fame? Well, he sang with the Nolan sisters at his 18th birthday!

Tom’s role is very simply to manage client relationships, requirements and ensure that everyone our end works effectively so that deployment of our solutions and projects are delivered on time and in full. In addition, Tom has responsibility for the client support team. Tom fancies himself as a dab hand in the kitchen and after five trips to Italy has finally perfected the Ragu Bolognese. In his spare time, you’ll find him exploring new music, new food or new beer and if all three are combined then he’s a happy lad.

Laurence is responsible for supporting our clients – be it in person with the training of our products and platforms on client sites or by managing incoming calls quickly and efficiently. In his younger years (not that he’s old), if he wasn’t engrossed in DS Brain Training, you’d find Laurence playing table tennis for Essex.

Responsible for a number of systems at BlueRunner, Richard is involved at every stage of the project cycle – from initial design, development and testing and then ongoing system support and improvement. Our Richard is a bit of a dark horse – he’s run six London marathons with a best time of 3hr 11mins and has recently completed his first triathlon. Less exhausting however, he was once part of a team of three that won a conker championship in the City of London. We wonder how much training that involved!

As part of the software development team, Adrian creates new functionality based on client requirements and occasionally ghost busts with Jan.

Adrian is originally from the green & beautiful Asturias and lucky for us, he has just arrived to the UK. Adrian has spent a lot of his career working for a whole host of companies including Asturias Government agencies (sounds exciting right?) and so naturally his experience spans a huge number of diverse projects. He loves all parts of the IT World, from the code to systems infrastructures to the design part (which is Adrian’s way of telling us he likes video games too).
