Meet the Wish.co.uk Team
Despite what you may have read, Wish.co.uk is not a cyborg operation. Here's who does what for Wish.co.uk.
Richard Kershaw, Co-Founder
Co-founder Richard has worked on the interwebs for 10 years. His mum tells people "he works with computers". His dad tells people he bets on greyhounds for a living.
Pop Fact: 80s pop sensation Billy Ocean was Richard's landlord for three years.
Stephen Pavlovich, Co-Founder
Coming soon...
The Dale Shaw, Writer
Content guru and copywriter Dale plies his trade as a comedy writer and has written for the likes of That Mitchell and Webb Sound and Russell Howard’s Good News.
Pop Fact: Dale worked in an East Village video rentals shop in a previous life. Regular rock star clients included Lou Reed and the Magnetic Fields' Stephin Merritt.

Claire Broadley, Writer
The second member of our copywriting team is superstar Claire. When she isn’t being literary, she's being musical and touring the globe with her hot synth band Printed Circuit. And, yes, that is face glitter.
Pop Fact: Claire is the only person we know whose Last.FM profile betrays a love of both Creedence Clearwater Revival and obscrube Krautrock legends Neu!.

Laura, Admin
Providing us with support - both emotional and in the admin sense - is Laura. She can multitask like a demon and has never muttered the words, "Please leave me alone I can’t stand to look at your face anymore." Yet.
Pop Fact: Laura's parallel acting career has included appearances in EastEnders and Casualty (Sadly, sans her regulation Wish.co.uk T-shirt).
Scott, Servers & Development
Scott runs his own web dev agency, as well as doing all sorts of magical bits for us. The most amazing thing? He has never owned or used a computer. He does it all with slide rules, reciting code to us down a crackly phone line.
Sam & Ben, Design & Build
The mindblowing Wish 2.0 website you see before you is thanks to Sam, Ben & the team at 7dots. We are humbled by their design expertise.

Wanna Be In Our Gang?
Want to work for a TechCrunch-feted startup with £10.5m funding from Index Ventures? Dream of working in London's fashionable Silicon Roundabout district? Crave career prospects, jet set travel and a salary to match?
Let us know & we'll be happy to hook you up with our buddies at SkimLinks...
However, if you prefer over-laboured puns, remote working, unpredictable workloads and Magento-based ecommerce, we should totally talk. And not just about that uncomfortable-looking skin condition.
We work with a crack team of...
- Writers
- Designers
- Magento developers
- PHP developers
... and we're always looking for awesome contractors for our roster. If you've got The Right Stuff, we'd be charmed to hear from you.
No Agencies Please
Else we will spend our time & money wasting your time & money.
