Reviews
I have worked with Storm New Media for over a year now, and have found that they have gone over and beyond my expectation of support. They are willing to assist with even the most menial task, explaining in jargon free language what the problem was and how I could fix it in future.
The team assisted me even after hours, when I was trying to meet a deadline - which in the web design world is unusual!
I would recommend Storm New Media to any web developer, customer for a website, or customers for hosting only. Their dedication to customer service is evident in their friendly and approachable manner and focus on completing any request or complication as fast and efficiently as possible.
They Rock! Been with them since the beginning, and they have never let me down. They deliver fast and on budget - and always have a cup of tea on hand when working through ideas together. And the thing about them that makes them stand out from the rest, is that they always go the extra mile to get the project just right!
Atif Ahmed Mirza
Programmer
Atif joined Storm in 2010 after leaving Kingston University where he studied for a Masters in Web Development.
Atif is a technical guru with logical problem solving skills which are perfect for programming bespoke websites and providing database solutions. Atif is a valuable asset to the SNM team with lots of contacts across many programming languages.
Atif enjoys watching films, face-booking, cricket and surfing youtube, he has also shown us some of the language and culture from Pakistan gaining the nick-name AtifG from the famous film XY. We think Atif should be on X factor as he is regularly singing away in Urdu.
Austin Meakin
Operations Director
Austin joined Skylab in 2009 after leaving Kingston University where he studied for a BA in Graphic Design and is currently studying a masters in e-commerce and web management.
With a blend of intelligence, practical and creative thinking, Austin is a valuable asset to the SNM team and contributes valuable information and insight to our project management and company processes.
Austin is a prime example of the fine line between genius and madness, this is opitimized in his creation of the ‘Coftea,’ an unique blend of Tea and Coffee, to call it an acquired task is definately an understatment.
With a wide range of characters we aim to cover all of the bases and hopefully provide a well rounded service for all of our clients both new and existing.
Colin Brampton
Creative Director
Colin joined Storm in 2007 after leaving Southampton University where he studied for a BA in Graphic Design. Since leaving university Colin has worked in the industry to develop his skills and career.
Colin deals with the majority of the print work that comes into the studio including all branding, packaging design, advertising and print.
He is an enthusiastic and and valuable member of the team with a great work ethic and always remains professional when dealing with our clients.
James Syme
Managing Director
After starting his career in the packaging industry, James has picked up many skills over an extensive career covering numerous design related jobs.
He later switched his focus to the web industry in the the early nineties with the massive increase in popularity in online services. This trend has developed and naturally lead into specializing in many other forms of online technology including social media technology, mobile applications and search engine optimization.
Since then, James has remained key to the company success in a more senior role, overseeing projects, responsible for bringing in new business and account handling. His light hearted attitude and take on life make him a great director to work for and are reflected in the main company ethos. Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life!
