A bastion of fitness and athleticism, yet also a chocoholic, our Operations Manager Alan is a man of contradictions known for his fiendish powers of organisation.

After graduating with a degree in English Language, his career took him into the fast-paced and hands-on world of administration in a busy GP practice, before he joined Engage Web as an Account Executive in 2014. Since then, Alan has taken multiple duties in his stride to become our operations guru, responsible for everything from processes and procedures to inductions and fire marshalling – and is also a proud shareholder in the business.

A high achiever inside and outside of work, Alan primarily competes in high jump and the 400m, although he has secured awards for a number of challenges and has even won a gold medal in a hammer throw – after the other competitors failed to turn up!

Alan is also a keen supporter of Liverpool FC and helps out as a volunteer with Welsh football team Airbus UK Broughton FC.

Live Weather Display Using CSS, jQuery and PHP

In 2006 I had an idea which involved displaying a live weather feed on a company’s website, using the Yahoo Weather API as the source. At the time however, the only way to do this effectively was by using Flash, and this was something the company was unwilling to do due to the development time involved.

How to harness Yahoo!'s weather API

In 2006, while working at a design agency in Cardiff, Wales, I conceived of an idea to feature on our website the current weather conditions outside our office. I wanted to make our website fully engaging and to show our visitors and clients what we were experiencing in real life each day, in real time.
