There are plenty of reasons why I haven't showcased any of my agency projects on this site, mainly as I am a small cog in a big wheel and I wouldn't want to be seen as taking any of the credit. If you want to see some of the work I have done, email me, and I will send you a long list of URL's.
However, there have been the odd occasions when someone has asked for a little helping hand. Here are some of my more personal projects, websites I have built in the spare time between work, the Gills and looking after the little man.
