Management and Administration

Leon Calverley

Business Development Director (& Managing Director)

Leon formed Door4 back in 2000 after gaining a BSc Hons in Building Surveying from the University of Salford. He still questions its relevance to his current role, but can identify the cause of a damp patch from 200 yards. (A damp patch in a building, that is.)
Leon handles new business enquiries, and oversees the day-to-day operation of the business.

Linda Hamer

Administrator

Linda says: "Since leaving school I have always been office based, apart from a few years where the bright lights of Blackpool led me into working as a chamber maid/bar maid etc..! I've covered all aspects from Receptionist/Switchboard Operator/Accounts Assistant/Credit Control Manager to my working at Door4 as the "administrator". This actually covers a multitude of sins, from answering the phones to invoicing and making sure that customers pay on time."

Production, Creative and Technical

Darren Taylor

Studio Manager / Creative Web Producer

Darren has been in the graphics industry since 1989. After a few short years at college, Darren decided the University of Life was the place for him and, regrettably hasn't had a six week holiday since.

Darren likes to bore the younger members of the team about the bygone era of 'paste-up' and 'camera-ready-artwork' and how there was life before CS3.

Faisal Iqbal

Senior Developer / Technical Consultant

Behind Leon, ASP.net warrior Fes is Door4's longest serving member - so to speak, and has been influential in the continued growth of the business.

After spending 4 years studying programming stuff at MMU and gorging himself down the curry mile, Fes now eats ASP, .NET, PHP, JS, Jquery and Actionscript for breakfast.

Pete Morley

Creative web producer / Branding Expert

Coffee, Macs, Pot Noodles, Adobe Illustrator, tasty D&B, Typography, Neil Buchanan, Chuck Norris, mocking James. These are just a few things that Pete likes to punctuate his day with. After studying Media Production for 6 years, Pete became hooked on all things design. The rest, as they say, is history. He is yet to find a typeface with a better 'g' than Trebuchet MS.
