  • Fern Montgomery

    Digital Marketing Specialist

    With over 10 years of digital marketing experience, I pride myself on being able to provide clients with the ability to identify the most effective and cost efficient marketing tactics for their business! I've loved working with many different businesses from small e-commerce teams to global technology platforms. Outside of work, the strategic thinking continues. I have a 4 year old daughter who, like all kids, challenges me on a daily basis. She sees the world in her own unique way, which often influences the way I think and make decisions too - always for the better!

  • Sue

    Finance Director

  • Natalie

    Brand and Partnerships Manager

    I began my marketing career in the healthcare sector before moving to a full-service agency, where I worked across everything from print and social to digital campaigns. That’s where I discovered my love for branding, design, and storytelling, which eventually led me to Ultimate. As Brand and Partnerships Manager, I lead Ultimate’s own marketing strategy, from shaping content and managing our digital channels to developing partnerships that help us grow. I also look after our website, campaigns, and performance reporting to make sure our brand is always evolving and reaching the right audiences. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me exploring Manchester with friends, getting creative with a craft project, or on stage as a professional singer. Pass the mic!

  • Roy

    Full-Stack Developer

  • Matt

    Chairman

    I hold the position of Chairman at Ultimate, having founded the company in 1994 at the age of 19. I’d like to think my entrepreneurial spirit has been instrumental in its success, but maybe I should let others be the judge of that. I now lead the executive board, where I support the vision of the CEO and senior leadership team. Over the years, I’ve held multiple leadership and board positions and have extensive experience across many sectors, including technology, creative industries, sports, performance, and well-being. Although varied in nature, they all share a common thread: a focus on entrepreneurship and the successful collaboration of exceptional people. I recently cycled the entire 2021 Tour de France route as part of a team that raised more than £1.3 million for the charity Cure Leukaemia. This is one of my proudest achievements, as well as being an official ambassador for the Seashell Trust, a national charity that supports children and young adults with the most complex learning difficulties. In addition, I hold a trustee position with the Being Foundation. The following philosophy encapsulates the essence of my approach to life, work, and pretty much everything: "Enjoy life, do great work." This mantra serves as a guiding principle in all I do.

  • Aiyub

    Senior Laravel Developer

    I hold a degree in Software Engineering and began my career as a developer in the medical sector. Alongside this, I explored web development frameworks and quickly discovered a passion for building web applications. This led me to pursue a full-time career in web development, where I’ve grown into a full stack developer. I enjoy working across the entire project lifecycle - from designing databases and choosing the right tech stack to implementing solutions and providing ongoing support. Outside of work, I enjoy learning new technologies, spending time with my family, and playing badminton.

  • Jon

    Chief Commercial Officer

    Where to start... with over two decades of experience in technology and marketing, lots of hard work and big ambitions, I'd like to say I've established myself as a leading professional in the field. I've spent my career leveraging my expertise to collaborate with various top-tier brands and organisations and spearheading a diverse range of technical projects including sophisticated apps, complex websites and 3rd party integrations to clients' backend systems and platforms. I'm a huge lover of golf and spend my spare time trying to improve my handicap, and when I'm not at the golf course, I'm spending time with my little (not so little anymore) girl.

  • Heather

    Senior Designer

    I joined Ultimate over 4 years ago, and in that time I've really developed and evolved both as a person and a designer. I'm really proud of the things I’ve achieved and the projects I’ve been able to work on - from creative and branding projects, right through to full digital pieces. Outside of work, I’m usually socialising with family or friends. If I’m not doing that, I’m usually finding the next thing to decorate around the house or just getting out for a nice walk in nature!

  • Toni

    Senior UX/UI Designer

    I began my career in Spain 15+ years ago designing magazines primarily working in printing houses and agency environments. Graphic design was my core skill until I moved to the UK in 2015 when I took a very keen interest in interactive design, branding and digital communications. When I'm not at work I'm either cooking up a pretty good paella, or out listening to music.

  • Lisa

    Lead Designer

    I’ve been part of Ultimate for 20 years this year and the journey has been incredible! I LOVE the kick-off of any creative or brand project. Understanding the client and getting under the skin of a brief is key to everything, once this bit is in motion the creative possibilities really open up and we can create our BEST work. Outside of Ultimate there’s two big things for me…family life! and a new obsession (i’m genuinely OBSESSED :D) with ceramics, so if i get the opportunity i’m usually creating something with clay!

  • Stefan

    Digital Director

    I have worked at Ultimate for over 10 years and I head up our website development team, delving into every brief with genuine enthusiasm and grit, in order to create the best solution for our clients. When I'm not at work you'll find me spending time with my beautiful family.

  • Richard

    CEO

    I’ve had the privilege of leading and working with some truly inspiring people and organisations - some you may never have heard of but employ hundreds of thousands of people, and others that are household names like Microsoft, P&G, Siemens, and Sony. As CEO, I’m responsible for setting our overall direction and leading the agency. The most rewarding part of the role is working alongside our incredible team and clients - seeing great ideas come to life through. Before Ultimate, I served on the board of a £1 billion staffing company, was a partner at an executive search firm, and spent over a decade as a partner in a global sales performance consultancy - an experience that took me all over the world and shaped much of how I lead today.

  • Connell

    Digital Solutions Consultant

    I've worked for Ultimate for over 4 years now and have over 10 years of experience in the digital space. My background is in project management and I help our clients to craft digital solutions and their delivery to match commercial needs and requirements. I'm powered on lots of energy drinks as I've just had a little baby girl so unlike everyone else in the office, I don't have much spare time at the moment ha!

  • Jill

    Operations Manager

    I've worked for Ultimate for just over 2 years now, before coming to Ultimate I spent 35 years in the design industry, I have been a designer, studio manager, traffic manager and operations manager. I've also got experience in photography, still life, CGI, animation, UX and web development. I'm a woman of many trades and the master of spinning plates! My role at Ultimate is to keep all the cogs turning and to keep all jobs on time and on budget. In my spare time outside of work, I am an avid gardener and also spend lots of time with my fur babies Bill (my cat) and Ted (my dog).

  • Miro

    Full-Stack Developer

    I'm a WordPress full-stack developer with a passion for mixing and mastering music. I've been working as a developer for the past 3 years at Ultimate, where I've built websites for a variety of clients in lots of different sectors. I love being able to turn coffee into code haha but outside of work I love to spend time in the studio mixing and mastering music.
