Middlesbrough digital agency completes recruitment drive

Middlesbrough-based Calm Digital has added six new members to tackle increasing demand.

Jules France and David Dunn have joined the team to help drive growth as business development managers of the web and creative digital agency.

Stephen Brown from Hartlepool and David Balmbra from Middlesbrough have joined the team as developers while quirky street artist, Robert Page will add his unique style to the team as a part-time designer.

The new project manager, Mehmoona Ameen, was trained at Sandhurst, so she will make sure all projects are now handled with military precision.

Jules France, of Saltburn, has almost 15 years of experience, including 10 years at BT. She will be responsible for growing the leisure sector, which currently includes clients Swinton Park, Acklam Hall and Redcar Racecourse.

On joining the Calm team, Jules said: “I’m proud to be part of this supportive team, but I’m mostly proud of the excellent products and services that we deliver to our clients.

“I’m also really excited about Teesside – it’s a hive of activity with lots of regeneration and growth going on at the moment.”

Dedicated David Dunn commutes from Northumberland to work at Calm. The part-time DJ and former teacher is responsible for growing Calm’s specialist sectors of engineering and oil and gas.

He said: “I absolutely love it here – it’s the best job I’ve ever had. The agency has such a nice family feel, it’s totally worth the 200 mile round commute!”

Calm Digital also specialises in the property sector as well as professional services, recently signing solicitors Latimer Hinks.

Bianca Robinson, director at Calm, said: “We’re excited about the positive direction Calm is moving in. Everyone is extremely motivated and we feel it’s the strongest the team has ever been - we are assembling our dream team!”
