John Dickens has been designing and building web sites for over ten years. He has over eight years experience as a senior Internet Developer for a healthcare IT company, designing and building complex user interfaces using Internet technologies. He has also worked as a Team Leader, a Business Analyst, a Project Manager, an Insurance Underwriter and as a Painter and Decorator and Telephone Receptionist. He has pressure washed the barnacles off the bottom of boats, cleaned trays in an industrial bakery, packed pieces of plastic for Courthalds and answered the phone for Dyson. If you are prepared to pay his hourly rate, he will happily clean your car or cut your grass (he really likes cutting the grass).
John is regularly called upon as an expert in Social Media to address groups like The Chamber of Commerce or BBC Wiltshire. He has also written for magazines and newspapers and has been published in The Guardian, Sporting Life, Front Magazine and others. He is a genuine stand up expert on Social Media and Internet technologies. He doesn’t describe himself as a “guru” and automatically dismisses anyone that does.

Simon is our Corporate and Brand Identity expert. We’ve tried to persuade him that with a name like Blogg he should be our Social Media expert, but to no avail.
Simon cares about all the iddy biddy bits of detail that really make the difference in graphic design. His designs are cool and very trendy which is surprising for such an old bugger. He supports Torquay Utd so that marks him down as odd already. Simon has over 20 years commercial experience in graphic design and has a special interest in the food and entertainment industry.
Simon has worked for blue chip organisations within the motoring, petroleum, banking, real estate and tourism industries. He runs his own business Cherub Consultancy, but he’s now also part of Team Godjira and helping us in our plans to take over the World.
Music: Elgar to Elbow
Football: Not applicable
Surprising Fact: Couldn’t swim until he was 40
Ambition: To live by the sea (again)
Peny is awesome, we love her. She is our main illustrator and graphic artist. She produces artwork for some of our client sites like www.usefulmortgages.co.uk and is working on lots more. She’s a great addition to the team here at Godjira and can take our business forward as we expand in to new digital media.
The name Godjira is actually the Japanese spelling of “Godzilla”. Godzilla was Americanised and some say misspelled, for the US release of the films. It is a name John has used since his days at college where he used it to promote rock bands and fits in well with his ambitions of taking over the world.
