About us.

Stu in the words of Rob

Stu can be very meticulous in his attention to detail. He's no web designer, but he’s changed the design of this website countless times since 2010 and, if I’m honest, I didn’t really mind the first one. 

Rob in the words of Stu

Rob’s not happy that our joint Twitter account, @StuandRob, has more followers than his personal one. His competitive nature, even with himself, stretches from our work, right through to mobile game high scores, sad isn’t it?
