Founder & Company Director

Mike is our founder, our boss and the man to go to when you need a bit of direction. His passion for business knows no bounds; it’s what drives him to keep doing what he does best. If you do manage to catch him out of the office, he’ll probably be herding his many dogs, horses and other four-legged friends around his fields (whilst on the phone with a client, naturally).

Alison

Alison

Company Director

A background in sales training and management, combined with an interest in writing have enabled me to be involved in two very different areas of Pod Digital, since it was launched by my husband. Watching the business grow and the team flourish continues to be a source of great satisfaction.

Issy

Issy

Sales Director

I started working here in 2021 and have worked my way up to Sales Director, learning from hands-on experience in our family-run business. I’m passionate about building strong client relationships and creating strategies that help businesses grow. Working alongside my dad, who’s our Managing Director, has given me a real drive to succeed. Outside of work, I’ve been figure skating since I was four and am a qualified kickboxing instructor and ex-fighter. Whether in or out of the office, I’m always pushing myself to learn and improve.

AI & Content Director

Since joining Pod Digital in September 2021, I have built a team of amazingly talented content and video strategists. As a published author, and someone who has spent many years teaching grammar, I have a passion for the written word. Nothing makes me happier than the request, “Can I have a hyphen check, please?” Away from the office, I love to run, ride my horse, Trudy, and walk my two wired-haired dachshunds. (Please note correct use of a hyphen).
