Colin is our big boss man, the founder and CEO, the face of Xtensive. He is the first point of call for all new clients and has done a fantastic job taking Xtensive from a one man team to an ever growing agency of wonderful talent.

Colin founded Xtensive Ltd back in 2008 after being made redundant at his previous job. Turning lemons into lemonade, Colin saw a gap in the market for a new web design & marketing agency that focused on excellent customer service. As a friendly and personable guy, offering this service was no challenge for him and he quickly began winning clients. Originally a one man band, Colin did absolutely everything from designing the websites to the SEO and maintenance work. Nowadays, he’s responsible for securing new clients and managing the business, leaving the web development and marketing to his team.

When Colin is not working (which is rare), you will usually find him out on the golf course with his sons or out running 5k. He always likes to be on the move!
