January Newbies: Welcome Isabelle, Jens and Lydia

We’re super excited to welcome a few new faces to Catch this month!

Isabelle Derbyshire in front of Brick Wall

Firstly we have Isabelle joining us as Office Manager. After working on offline marketing campaigns for retailers at our sister agency More2 for around seven years, it was time for a new challenge. Having just had a wonderful, but tiring, maternity leave, it was the perfect opportunity to join Catch to learn something new!

It's been great to work with such a lovely bunch of people at Catch so far to help make the office run smoothly. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone a little better and ensuring Catch continues to be a great place to work.

Lydia Wood on a Hike

Lydia has joined us as a Front End Developer after a career change in 2020. At Catch she’s looking forward to working with a great team on a wide variety of projects.

In her spare time, you’ll find Lydia huffing and puffing her way up the Lake District Fells or dreaming about thru-hikes whilst drinking hot chocolate.

Jens Janson Headshot

Also joining our Front End team after many years working with us as a freelancer is Jens, a former graphic designer and front-end developer with many years of freelancing experience.

He started making websites in the 90s in his native Sweden and later went on to study graphic design, typography and animation in London where he still lives.

These days he’s passionate about combining his experience by making interesting and accessible interactive work as a Senior Front End Developer.

Our Climate Positive Journey

At Catch, we believe keenly in trying to leave the world a better place than we found it. That's why we've been actively working to offset our carbon footprint for many years.                        

We work with Ecologi to offset our carbon output through supporting projects across the globe and have helped remove several tonnes of carbon by supporting rainforest conservation in Peru via a Brazil nut concession project. 

In the last three months alone we've already reduced 31.5 tonnes of carbon, planting 520 trees and funding different projects from forest restoration in Kenya to protecting and restoring Andean Forests in Bolivia.

In addition to our work with Ecologi, we also have a suite of other measures in place to help ensure we're having a more positive impact on our planet, such as: 

  • Working with an electricity supplier who use renewable energy
  • Motion activated studio lighting (don't sit still too long or you'll be in the dark!)
  • We minimise the use of paper in the studio and only print information where absolutely necessary 
  • Ensuring we're recycling everything possible, from paper, to glass to batteries
  • No single-use plastics in use at our studio
  • We are also advocates of the Cycle To Work Scheme, which aims to cut congestion on the roads, improve health and have a positive impact on the environment
  • Fresh fruit is delivered weekly by Fruitful Office in collaboration with the UK charity Ripple Africa, they plant 1 fruit tree in Malawi for every basket/box
