Meet Alan_

Project Manager at Freebook Global Technologies

Alan joined the Freebook Global Technologies team in February 2023. He brings a vast amount of commercial and technical understanding, having worked with online projects large and small since the mid-90s. His roles have ranged from client, project and team management to hands-on development and the creation of new online brands.

Alan’s key responsibility is to guide projects from inception to completion. His focus is to manage the time, budget and expectations of the client and our creative team. This requires a drive for accuracy and detail, alongside the flexibility to productively handle changes to goals and resources.

Alan is a natural communicator with a strong technical background. He brings enthusiasm and energy along with a pragmatic realism gained from his wealth of experience. A seasoned problem-solver, Alan appreciates that few projects follow a straight line and will always approach challenge and change with a practical and positive perspective.

What are your favourite things about Freebook Global Technologies?

I love the sheer expertise of the teams and the positive creative vibe that permeates the company from top to bottom. There is a friendly and infectious ‘can-do’ attitude and a highly family-oriented ethos.

What does your Freebook Global Technologies role involve?

It’s mostly about maintaining clear and effective two-way communication with the client and the team. I will always strive to be time-efficient and ensure clarity of direction for each project I’m working on. It’s also incredibly important to keep an eye on the small details and their impact on each other, while still viewing the project as a whole.

What would your dream project be?

Something that continually evolves and inspires. It doesn’t have to be something to change the world, but it might be nice if it did!

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

My biggest joy is spending time with the family, whether it’s doing Taekwondo with my 10 year old son or watching a movie about mermaids or unicorns for the 200th time with his sister! Outside that, I’m actively involved in music having played in bands since my teens. I’m also an experienced photographer and am hugely interested in where/how technology is taking all creative areas forward.
