Team
Liz Katz
Managing Director
Liz loves content – finding it, creating it, organising it and presenting it. We think her background as an academic librarian and her post graduate qualification in Information Management helps ... but there’s nothing stuffy about her – or her content management ideas and solutions. She’s also our SEO and online marketing specialist. Her main goal is always to deliver websites and solutions that our clients are proud of and that make them happy.
Matt Katz
Creative Director
Matt is our media production expert. He has a background in production for broadcast media, predominantly for BBC Television and Radio, so broadcast quality production values come as standard at Noisegate. Outside the studio, Matt’s at his best finding new technologies and systems and creating ways of using them within our portfolio so all our clients can benefit. We think he may one day come up with something so brilliant it will change the world ... though he’s also doing a pretty good job in the meantime.
Ben Ablewhite
Operations Manager
Ben joined Noisegate in 2006 and has project managed many of our larger contracts. With prior experience in the IT industry and as an IT Business Analyst for a major UK bank, Ben is an expert at understanding and interpreting a client’s requirements, then guiding the selection and implementation of technology to ensure the delivery of a solution that is both pragmatic and offers a great user experience. Ben truly believes that anything is possible - and always seems to be having a lot of fun making it happen.
Steve Jones
Lead Developer
Steve is without doubt our top technical mastermind. Whatever Liz, Matt and Ben come up with, his task is to build it. Just as well then that he has an MSc in Computer Security from Birmingham University and knowledge of MySQL, Access, PHP, HTML, XHTML, CSS, Java, Javascript and many other web technologies. Before joining Noisegate he worked at a government run research laboratory maintaining the computer systems being used by research scientists working with data collected at CERN. So, we know our programming is in safe hands. Steve also recently developed our first iPhone app, Acute Med, due for launch soon.
Jane Heaton
Writer and content specialist
Jane helps our clients craft their content - translate their ideas, thoughts and feelings into simple yet powerful copy, capturing just the right tone and style. If you're stuck in a rut or suffering from writer's block, she can coach you out of it. And if you want her to write for you, then we're confident you'll be working with one of the most inspiring copywriters around - web content, blogs, social media profiles, case studies, articles, video scripts ... and whatever else you want to send our way.
