Our senior team have been working together for over 10 years.

All are masters of their individual trades, and all live
and breathe financial services.

Marilyn Cole

Managing Partner

Marilyn Cole

Before founding Space with Paul, Marilyn spent far too long working in financial services, as both provider and adviser.

She uses that experience to head up our research team. And she’s a true jet setter, regularly commuting all the way to Australia for our clients down under.

Paul Brooks

Creative Partner

Paul Brooks

Paul’s been creating digital experience and communication strategies for over 25 years. He loves ideas – and Space has been one of his best.

When he’s not helping clients see the bigger picture he indulges in his twin passions of investing and classic cars.

Nothing makes him happier than investing in classic cars.

Paul Wilson

UX Partner

Paul Wilson

Paul’s a master at making things happen. A UX designer by training he now takes responsibility for delivery of our technical projects

In his spare time, Paul enjoys hiking. Thankfully, he never goes walkabout in the middle of any project.

Jeremy Robson

Technical Director

Jeremy Robson

Jeremy is a developer with over 25 years’ experience. Whatever the technical challenge he’s seen it, done it and got the I.T shirt.

He also keeps us up to date on all the latest technical innovation. However, he goes back to the 70’s every weekend when he takes his Ford Escort Mexico for a spin.

John Artus

Strategy Director

John Artus

For in-depth product knowledge Space has industry insider John. Stints with many of the UK’s leading financial companies means John knows a lot about pensions, insurance and the like.

John’s equally gifted at calculating risks of another kind – regularly turning a healthy profit on the poker table and at the track.

Colin Franks

UX Director

Colin Franks

An insightful and experienced UX practitioner, Colin helps Space clients optimise digital touchpoints across every customer journey.

Colin’s love of technology extends to putting his pride-and-joy Tesla through its paces at the weekend. It’s sure to catch on soon, Colin.

Paul Middleton

Financial Director

Paul Middleton

Paul’s many years of experience and cool head for figures – he’s even worked with the Bank of England – keep Space finances healthy.

When Paul’s not keeping tabs on the numbers he’s out on the course, seeing if he can’t get his golf handicap under control too.

Mike Pink

Head of Development

Mike Pink

Ever met a one-man tech radar? You have now. Mike’s our go-to-guy for updates on all the latest technology – and how to put it to work for Space clients.

Mike’s a bit of an all-rounder outside work too – along with half marathons and distance runs to keep his body in shape, he does the same for his mind by programming games and iOS applications.

John Bartholomew

Project Director

John Bartholomew

John’s been successfully managing mission-critical technical projects, like site builds and platform migrations, with Space clients for over three years now.

Weekends see more heavy lifting as John pursues a punishing schedule of running, swimming, triathlon – and even a relaxing round of golf now and then.

Jon Hindle

Senior Project Manager

Jon Hindle

Jon’s a detail-oriented manager, whose Agile credentials and experience helps Space deliver complex client projects on time and on budget.

It could be this obsession with good time-keeping that fuels Jon’s passion for watch-collecting, though we can’t fathom where his love of cars comes from since he doesn’t even drive one.
