The teams here!
As one of the first members of the new Nudge team I've had

On the team so far we have…
Kathryn Eccles,
Digital social researcher.
Elizabeth Woodcock , our
sustainability officer
Shem, (moi), UX
Designer
Latest new additions…
Paul Carter, Psychologist
…and due to start next week Andrew Thomas, a software engineer.
That’s not to forget Dr John Parkinson, Dr Carl Hughes and
David Menichino our Directors/Academics and management team.

The same structure has been used to form the 'Enterprise by Design' project within Bangor University.

Projects and partners are stacking up thick and fast, and
the range of projects are as diverse as the team itself. More to come on these
very soon!
