Razor has recruited 7 members of staff during the lockdown, including senior members of its design and marketing teams.
The Sheffield-based tech firm said that despite the pandemic, it was a “successful year so far” with several new business opportunities.
“We’ve been very lucky that we’ve been able to continue to grow during this time. Helping the Northern tech scene stay strong is key to our cause so I’m very proud to be able to say Razor can recruit at the moment,” said CEO and Founder Jamie Hinton.
“With the world the way it is, businesses are looking for ways to digitally transform what they offer, I think Razor has benefitted from the accelerated thinking around digital transformation and automation with new business coming in all the time.”
The new hires include Aidan Minton, who’s been brought in as Design Lead. He joins from Barnsley Council, where he was a Technical Specialist, he’s also worked at Patient, Bluesky Interactive and Kudos Creative.
“I’ve always had a passion for anything creatively charged and this role was perfect for me, having seen some of the work coming from Razor I knew I wanted to be part of it,” he said.
Joining Minton is Hannah Ackroyd, who’s been named Marketing and Sales Lead, having previously been Senior Business Development Manager at Black Marble.
“After working in a sales role, I was looking for something that was closer aligned to my creative passions that had been put on hold,” she explained.
“The position at Razor has given me a unique opportunity to continue to work in the tech space, while getting reacquainted with my creative side through content creation and working with our creative partners.”
The agency has also appointed Go Outdoors’ former Ecommerce We Development Project Manager, Hannah Wilkinson. She’s been hired as Delivery Lead.
“I’m thrilled to have joined Razor and am looking forward to the varied subject matter and fast pace of agency life. I’m hoping my background in e-commerce, business support functions and APIs joined with a desire to organise everything will prove to be an asset,” she said.
