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. 

Isabelle, Office Manager

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.

Christmas Giving at Catch

At Catch, we like to make sure we give something back at this time of year. To help us do so as a team, we scrapped the traditional - and slightly cringeworthy - office Secret Santa in 2019. 

Instead, we take part in two charity initiatives - Christmas Jumper Day and Kids Out’s Giving Tree scheme.

Christmas Jumper Day is Save the Children's annual event which raises money for children in the UK and across the world. Every December, we all dust off our most festive jumpers (apart from Gary, our Tech Director, who happily wears his all month) and make donations to Save the Children. We’re happy to say we hit our target very quickly this year.

Designed to be a fun alternative to the traditional Secret Santa, Giving Tree is not only simple to get involved with but a fun exercise for the whole office! Rather than buy each other cheap - and occasionally tacky! - Secret Santa gifts, instead we each buy something from the Giving Tree shop. The gifts are then given directly to children in refuge homes and other children across the country who are in great need, helping make Christmas the special time of year it should be.

If you’d like to take part in the Giving Tree scheme, you can do so here.
