Sarah Bull
Digital Project Manager
Sarah is always on hand to assist with any digital requirements and enjoys the fine balance between the relaxed office environment and the day-to-day challenges that life as a project manager brings. The epitome of organised she will ensure your projects run smoothly from start to completion.
She has an eye for fashion and is a true shopaholic. After a hard day's work she likes to relax with a large glass of white wine with her cat Jumna curled up beside her.
Matt Hobbs
Sales Director
Matt's background lies primarily in print and draws on his vast experience to offer a number of quality solutions for Tangerine's ever expanding client base. He's a true workaholic with immense drive, and is a great motivator spreading his positive vibe throughout the team.
Being football mad, his kicks are had inside and out of the office, which makes him a pretty happy bloke overall. However, one less standard obsession involves his lawn and keeping it mowed; a clean cut guy through and through.
Caroline Snow
Finance and Production Manager
Caroline is the backbone of Tangerine’s HR, finance, production and reception, and is also a dab hand at proofreading. Caroline is proud to have passed the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants Professional exams in 2011 with a lot of out-of-hours dedicated study.
Not keen on dark winter mornings checking on her small herd of horses, Caroline is the opposite of your typical festival going mud lover and enjoys the finer things in life which is how she bumped into Tangerine in the first place.
Claire Hobbs
Creative Director
Claire is the face behind the Tangerine brand and its strength in becoming what it is today. She's received recognition of her work in numerous publications, such as 1000 More Graphic Elements, Creative Review, and Design Week, and continues to push the Tangerine vision 24/7.
Now mum of two young girls she enjoys the fine balance of great design, teamwork and the joys of motherhood.
John Vingoe
Graphic Designer
Every new project for John is a chance to delve deep into his creativity through a combination of doodling on scraps of paper, sketching out ideas, drinking coffee and eating Nando's. His creativity has enabled his typography, logo work and designs to be featured on various websites and publications.
John has also designed and produced a run of t-shirts portraying various illustrative and typographic designs which were sold on his website.
Tim Gazes
Studio Manager

Keith Marshall
Digital Designer
A true perfectionist, Keith takes great pride in creating eye-catching designs with attention to detail down to the last pixel. Keith has worked for Tangerine since graduating from the University of Greenwich in 2002 with a first class degree in Multimedia Technology.
A lover of Charlton Athletic FC and the 80’s, given the chance he’d go back in time before Indie music became big, make house music last forever and make plenty of sure-fire bets on the football, probably none of which involve Charlton winning very much.
Rory Morris
Digital Designer
Rory's natural ability to visualise functionality and to craft immersive user experiences make him an indispensible member of our team, and he is constantly evaluating new technologies to push our products to the next level. His passion lies in keeping usability at the heart of his design.
As well as Rory's passion for great websites and being a proud father of 2 young girls, he has also begun to build himself an alternative career in the music industry with some of his sole productions being showcased on Kiss FM amongst others.
