Gordon White - Managing Director
A little about Gordon ...
I’m the vintage member of the fatBuzz team, I founded the business back in 1986 – before most of the team were actually born! So, sometimes they listen to me and sometimes they ignore the ‘old guy’ in the corner, but I do like to think I still have some influence over the direction of the business.

if I could take three things on a desert island they would be my cigars, a lighter, and a 'Do Not Disturb' sign!
'You may not remember a person's name or what they do but you will always remember the way they made you feel" - Tony Hsieh, CEO at Zappos
don't tell anyone, but my guilty pleasure is WORK.
if I could describe myself in one word it would be 'HAPPY' - If anyone else could describe me in one word it would be 'GRUMPY'.
Marion White - Director
A little about Marion...
A Director of fatBuzz, one of my biggest responsibilities is to look after the company’s finances. I’m also, arguably, the most important person in the office, as I’m the one who pays the salaries each month! Haha.

people who make me laugh. Gordon, Billy Connolly (met him once and he was so funny), Suggs from Madness (met him several times), Bruce Willis (not sure why), and Rod Stewart could come and give us a song. Also, my dad who I miss every day, he loved good company and good laughs.

I was Brookfield Junior Tennis Champion aged 12. In saying that, there were only 10 in the competition, two of them were six and the girl I beat in the final was nine - although she did go onto to be a Scottish champion at badminton.
Kenny MacMillan - Head of Design
A little about Kenny ...
Moving from Printing to Marketing has been an exciting change, don’t know why I didn’t do it years ago! Every day presents a new challenge. It is particularly satisfying to see the wide range marketing skills within the fatBuzz team.

A little about Mary-Julie...
As Head of Marketing I manage a fantastic team of Account Managers and Marketing Assistants who are responsible for creating and implementing engaging campaigns for our impressive portfolio of clients, which includes brands, companies and products. Working across a broad range of industry sectors means that every day is different and there’s rarely a dull moment in the office! When I’m not working I like going out with friends, eating great food, dragging myself to the gym and pretending I’m good at karaoke.

Kimberley Manderson - Head of Design and Development
A little about Kimberley...
In the office you’ll usually find me making a list, crossing off a list or chasing things on lists. I’m also one for rallying the team together to participate in important events like World Cup sweepstakes and the like.
When I’m not in the office you’ll most likely find me at a gig, complaining that gigs aren’t the way they used to be.

A little about Marie ...
I love marketing and started my career in the arts – working for the RCS and Scottish Opera. Previous to fatBuzz, I’ve always worked in-house, so it’s really interesting to be on the other side of the fence working with a range of businesses.
When I get some ‘me’ time and I’m not doing family things, I love going out for dinner, getting a massage or going to my Tai Chi and Boxing classes.

At fatbuzz I work as part of the Web Development team. Working closely alongside our team of designers we bring clients ideas to life. Every week is different, and every design is different meaning you never stop developing on your skillset. When I’m not at work I enjoy spending time with family & friends, and my gorgeous 4-year-old niece, listening to Let it Go 500 times a day really isn’t too bad.

Kirsty Thomson - Graphic Designer
A little about Kirsty ...
After graduating university in 2012, I found myself a little stuck for full-time design jobs living in the Scottish Borders so I moved to Carlisle and began work as an In-House Designer at an ironmongery company. I then moved up to Glasgow a year later for an agency opportunity and haven’t looked back. I joined fatBuzz in November ’17 and I’m looking forward to the challenges ahead.
When I’m not working I’m probably napping, spending time with family and friends or binge-watching something on Netflix.

A little about Buzz...
I am the most handsome member of the fatBuzz team. Day to day, I am responsible for barking at any postmen who enter the office and making sure all the staff have a helping paw when they need it.
