Our Team

Our fearless leader and sharp-as-a-tack frontman, Alex leads the Knapton Wright charge to keep the work we do and the relationships we forge relevant and rewarding - for the planet and local business economy, not our pockets. With an uncanny knack for understanding how businesses operate and identifying their needs, Alex is a candid and frank character. Cutting through the marketing fog that far too often clouds our industry, he is always working to push our boundaries, blazing a trail for the environmentally-minded businesses out there. Alex knows that despite what Kermit the Frog says, it can be easy being green ... if you approach sustainability with the right tools and the right people in your corner. 

When he's not giving Bear Grylls a run for his money, under a tarp or in a hammock, single malt in hand, Rob is tinkering with our task lists and keeping everything methodically turning over at Knapton Wright. A man that has a worrying soft spot for site maps, in all seriousness, it's Rob's geeky organisational skills and attention to detail that keep us functioning on a daily basis and make sure clients' expectations are not only met but surpassed. Having traded public sector corporate communications and marketing for the commercial world, Rob is not only a dab hand at knowing where and how the business can improve, but also how to perfectly time a face-achingly good joke. But, do yourself a favour, don't talk to him about the appropriate ripeness of bananas.

You'd think running The Old Granary - an accommodation business she owns with her sister, Clare - and Fred & Emily - a newly launched jewellery brand - would keep Louise busy enough, but alas, no. The agri-minded, silversmith and wife to our head honcho, Alex, also keeps all of us here at Knapton Wright in check. Identifying areas for development and growth, and using her experience working with the likes of Chelsea Football Club and Cancer Research UK on big branded events to expand our sights and look at things a little differently. 

Our answer to Dave Grohl, you might not figure young, courteous, Amias to be a burgeoning rock god, but having supported Reverend and the Makers at Docks Beers, we'd say he's well on his way to the drumming hall of fame. Anyway, we digress. Our junior web developer, with a flair for the technical aspects the job entails, Amias joined us earlier this year under Tim's watchful gaze to bolster the offering of our web development team. With a sharp interest in code and some serious technical wizardry to boot, resourceful Amias has segued into agency life as easily as, well, a Segway. 

Our marketing man about Nottinghamshire (and beyond) for the past 30+ years, James brings creative flair and problem-solving in bucket-loads, wowing clients from M&S to Doddington Hall with his charm and marketing expertise. Since leaving behind the city lights of corporate marketing and PR, he has become known for helping smaller businesses prosper and being instrumental in creating a business environment where organisations can flourish, particularly as a past chairman of Newark Business Club.

This is a tricky one, as it's the one team profile Jo herself hasn't written so let's see if she's rubbed off on us... *deep breath* With a laugh that lights up a room, and stories that spark the synapses, Jo brings her 'A' (to 'Z') game each and every day she works with us. Her fearless and inquisitive nature, coupled with her journalistic skills and training mean that Jo can craft content like no other. When not at the coalface of website copy, social media content, and belting blog posts, she's out in the wilds of Lincolnshire soaking up the best of British nature with her boys.

Understated, calm and collected, don't let Katie's gentle demeanour fool you - you'd be hard-pressed to find someone with more tenacity. No task is too big or too small, too much trouble or too odd a request. A champion of multi-disciplinary marketing, from stand-out social media content and digging into analytics to helping clients get serious about SEO, Katie just gets the job done. Setting the bar high when it comes to standards, and always with a smile on her face. And, as if having Katie around couldn't get any better, she often comes hand-in-paw with the gorgeous Teddy, a Cavapoo that is 100% gorgeous and absolutely a welcome distraction. 

Our man Down Under, working remotely from Australia, Tim handles our top-level web development and supports leading our creative strategy development - cork hat and all. Way more than just someone who makes stuff look pretty – he does that too, of course, and very well – Tim’s unique approach to developing a brand ensures any project he is tasked with, from a website build to the creation of branded assets, is executed with accessibility, effectivity and sensibility at the fore. User experience is king for Tim, and he loves a challenge. Every question, hurdle and operational hang-up only adds to his creative flair and, ultimately, the success of each finished design. 

The freshest face at KW HQ, and by freshest we mean youngest, Emily joined us in 2023 as a Digital Marketing Apprentice from HBTC (Hull Business Training Centre). Self-motivated, organised, and a keen doer, Em smashed her apprenticeship, qualifying with Distinction no less, and we're thrilled to have her with us full-time as our Client Services Associate. Not one to take her foot off the pedal, even outside of work, Emily is always out and about exploring what the area has to offer. She’s also no stranger to treading the boards, having starred in a musical or two.

Work experience bod turned newest member of the team, Zo has brought smiles and some serious skills to the table. Having been with us since April this year, it's honestly like Zo has been with us forever. With a creative advertising background, three days a week Zo works her magic on content creation, client campaigns and graphic design, where she does some pretty mega things with illustration and animation. An avid reader, regular festival-goer and baker of THE best chocolate-coated date balls ever, it's safe to say Zo has fit right into the crew.

A lover of order, improving processes, new technology and change - basically all the things most people hate - we knew we’d struck gold with Clare. With a strong moral compass, Clare is fab at bridging the gap between people and technology. A keen runner, cyclist, walker and snowboarder, Clare has an innate love of the outdoors, so you probably won’t be surprised to learn that she 100% embodies our drive towards being more sustainable - and helping other businesses do the same! She’s even part of the Caistor Environmental Group which plants and cares for trees. Clare helps to organise the Clothes Swap part of the repair cafe - did you know the fashion industry is responsible for more emissions than the aviation industry?
