WOKING, U.K. - June 9, 2014 - PRLog -- Lab, a leading independent agency in the UK, working with brands who want to give their customers personalised experiences online, are delighted to announce the recent appointment of Steven Foden to the role of support engineer.

“With technology evolving so quickly, it’s essential for a digital agency such as Lab to react as quickly as possible to these changes,” said Foden. “Not only do these advances affect the devices we use, the process of creating things, but also the way we communicate. Communication is key for Lab, and it’s only going to become more crucial as times goes on, so I’m delighted to be able to contribute to the smooth running of the business and help drive it forward. I’m thrilled to be a part of a company who really makes the most of technological advances, and uses it in new and innovative ways.”

Foden comes to Lab from McLaren Racing, assisting a team of over 1500 users, where he held the role of deployment engineer.

With extensive technical knowledge and a wide range of practice, Steven has exceptional experience across a multitude of platforms.

Matt Lintott, operations director at Lab said, “You could say we’re tech-fanatics here at Lab, we use it for more than just communication, work and entertainment. We like to be at the forefront of anything new, so it’s vital that our systems are running smoothly and we’re kept in the loop about the latest technologies. Steven’s experience in IT and support are going to be instrumental as we continue to expand our team, improve our support for new and existing clients and begin experimenting with new dimensions.
