Key Internet Marketing Consultants
Dr. David LO Smith, CEng
Chairman. David is our resident academic, having spent 4 years as a Senior Lecturer at Cranfield University and then as the Senior Business Development Manager at Silsoe Research Institute.
As one of Receptional's founding members, David is now responsible for overseeing and co-ordinating all projects undertaken by Receptional, ensuring that client expectations are exceeded consistently.
He's also utterly horse mad, last year trekking through perilous mountains astride a somewhat lively stallion!
Dixon Jones, BA (Hons.)
Managing Director. Dixon has run a number of different businesses over the years, setting-up Receptional after identifying the importance of Internet Marketing for modern industry.
He is a dedicated family-man, but still finds time to play online chess (badly, he says) and fly his giant kite.
Richard Picking, HND Business Studies, CIM
Diploma
Marketing Director. Richard Picking was formerly Head of Marketing Worldwide, for an International chemical company. A consultant for the past 10 years, he specialises in strategic planning and branding, working for a wide range of clients from major Corporates and SME's, to the Public Sector. His role at Receptional ensures we balance technical innovation with commercial viability, delivering solutions that drive the clients' business forward.
Andy Langton
Chief Technical Officer. Andy is our Senior Technical Consultant and Account Manager, as well as taking care of all Receptional's internal technical support issues.
He is the singer and lead guitarist with a band, and has been known to experiment with the effect of vodka on his vocal abilities!
Stephen Maguire, BA (Hons)
Internet Marketing Manager. Following his Marketing Degree, Stephen had the foresight to embark on an HTML & Java course before joining Receptional. He now works as Account Manager for Receptional's major client accounts.
He got married in 2004, scrubbing-up surprisingly well! Both Stephen and his wife are avid Liverpool FC fans, so they obviously deserve each other.....
Barrie Smith
Internet Marketing Assistant. Barrie provides support to our Consultants and manages PPC accounts for many of our clients.
He's a keen American Football fan (which explains those shoulder pads he sometimes wears to the office!). He also likes attending concerts, and he assures us that his love of Country & Western music is the sign of a music connoisseur (though we're not convinced).
Matthew Springbett, BSc (Hons)
Internet Marketing Consultant. Graduating last year in E- Commerce and Multimedia, Matt joined Receptional as a Consultant. He manages a number of our client accounts, as well as providing technical support.
Matt is crazy about cars - he'd like to take a mechanics course, with the aim of building his own kit car one day. Other favourite pastimes include mountain biking and photography - though not at the same time, we assume.
Hayley Tillson, BA (Hons.)
Internet Marketing Consultant. With a Degree in Acting, and a recruitment background, Hayley joined us in late 2006. As well as managing clients, she will be specialising in the Affiliate side of our business.
Hayley's first love is her Chihuahua Honey. She also enjoys seeing plays, though Honey has been banned from most major theatres!
Irene Furlan, MSc
Internet Marketing Consultant. Our latest recruit to the Receptional team, Irene has a first Degree in Languages and has also recently completed an MSc in Marketing.
In her spare time she really enjoys sports: running, snowboarding and hiking being among her favourites. The rest of the Receptional team are exhausted just thinking about all that!
Liz Molyneux, BA (Hons)
Liz works as a Marketing Consultant, specialising in customer care, in addition to serving as part-time Office Manager and Credit Controller for Receptional. In conjunction with Michelle, Liz ensures that the business' 'wheels' are sufficiently 'oiled'.
Married to David, she is also horse crazy and spends all her spare-time riding and caring for her beloved horses. If she had to choose between people and horses, we know which Liz would choose...
Robert Brown, MICA, BSc (Hons)
Robert is Receptional's Finance Director. He is also Director of Landers Accountants, and has solid experience of working closely with many owner-managed businesses - ranging from £30,000 turnover start-ups to a £20 million turnover household name.
Robert is married with 2 sons, which keeps him busy! When he finds time, he also likes to don an anorak and pursue his love of the railways.
