We are pleased to announce that Andrew Birks, Purple's Senior Web Developer, has been promoted to Studio Manager.

Andrew, has worked at Purple for over two years and will now be responsible for all Web and Creative projects at Purple.

Andrew graduated from Northumbria University in 2011 with a degree in Applied Computing and he has worked on a huge variety of projects whilst he has been at Purple.  With a keen eye for how style needs to marry with process requirements he gives careful consideration to both style and aesthetics.

Speaking on his promotion Andrew said: "It really is a privilege to work at Purple Creative Studio. Doing something that you love, and in a fun environment, really makes it easy to get out of bed in the morning. In the 2 years that I've been here, I've seen controlled growth and expansion that shows no sign of slowing down. All of this success is thoroughly deserved, as the people who are a part of Purple work as hard as they play."

Phil Upton, Managing Director of Purple said: "We are pleased that Andrew has accepted this position. It is largely due to his contribution during the past two years that Purple has matured as an agency. 2013 has seen us consolidate our business, defining our new brand and honing our products and services. I am confident that with Andrew driving the Web and Creative areas of the business that 2014 will be even better. Well done Andrew."
