Ecommerce specialist agency, Ampersand, has appointed three new roles to its growing
team: a Senior Developer, Senior Front End Developer and a UX Consultant. The new roles
follow eleven other recent appointments in the last six months for the agency.
The agency has recently seen the promotion of Dan Doyle to Senior Developer, Lyndsey
Herbert to Senior Front End Developer, and Jake Critchlow to UX Consultant.
The Manchester-based agency has seen significant growth over the past few years, with
clients in their portfolio including Harvey Nichols, MADE.com, Bench, Bensons for Beds and
Poundland. The restructuring of their team and appointment of new roles has been one of
the agency’s key strategies, in order to meet the needs of their growing ecommerce clients.
The new roles follow eleven recent appointments in the last six months for the agency,
including seven Developers, two QA Testers, an Office Manager and a Marketing Manager.
The agency’s UX Consultant is a new role for the business and Jake Critchlow has been
appointed to the role in order to add more user experience and design insights into the
discovery stage of projects. Of his appointment, Jake says: “Over the last 12 months,
Ampersand has shifted the way it works across the business in order to provide greater
value for our clients. It’s an exciting way of working, and I’m looking forward to my new role
as UX Consultant to provide more value and focus for our clients’ customers - the end
users.”
Avery Kiesling, HR & Talent Manager, added: “We have amazingly talented people at
Ampersand so it's great to see them getting the progression and recognition they deserve.
It's also wonderful to be part of an organisation that recognises the importance of personal
and professional growth and is committed to ensuring everyone has a chance to develop
themselves.
Internal promotions are a great way to get people into leadership roles who truly understand
the ins and outs of Ampersand. This makes recruiting for other roles, trying out different
processes, and the morale 100% more effective and efficient because we have people who
are leading with the company's best interest at heart.”
The Ampersand team have over 40+ team members based in their Manchester office and
continue to grow.
