Dream Team

• Jamie Andrews – Managing Director

  

  With a background in business incubation and web development, Jamie Andrews is at the helm of the Loco2 operation. He is the man with a plan: product owner, managing director and architect of dreams. He’s in charge of steering Loco2’s strategic decisions, but can often be found knee-deep in code and European train legislation, making Jamie the fat controller of the Loco2 team.

• Eugene Bolshakov – Software Engineer

  

  Yevgeniy (or Eugene to those of us unable to pronounce произношение) is the technical brain behind Loco2. A programming wizard of the highest order, Eugene builds order out of chaos, crafting efficient systems to unravel the mysteries of European rail. His combination of technical ability and willingness to communicate with other humans makes him a jewel in the Loco2 crown.

• Kate Andrews – Executive Director

  

  Dotter of t’s, crosser of i’s, Kate makes sure Loco2 runs a tight ship (train). Drawing on her background in customer service and office management, Kate oversees operations behind the scenes. She’s also our resident customer advocate, drawing on years of travel experience to write inspiring content for the Loco2 community and make sure their views are represented at every turn.

  Formally of Torchbox fame, Nick Lee is one half of design consultancy Rmdy and designer for Loco2. From pixel perfection to delicious colour palettes, Nick’s ability to translate wireframes into elegant grid-based designs makes his work a core element of the Loco2 aesthetic.

• Jon Leighton – Software Engineer

  

  Jon came aboard in the early days, and built the original Loco2 codebase which we’ve been expanding on ever since. After some time off to work on less important things (like his Oxford education, climate change activism and an R&D project for the BBC), Jon has recently rejoined the team for the next exciting stage of development. When he’s not working for Loco2, Jon commits code to the rails core source repository and climbs up rock faces.

• Ed Gillespie – Non-Executive Director

  

  With a host of low carbon travel credentials, Ed Gillespie, of lowcarbontravel.com and Futerra fame has his finger firmly on the (sustainability) pulse. A media and marketing oracle, Ed is a fine addition to the non-exec team and has supported Loco2 from the early days.

• Julia Groves – Non-Executive Director

  

  With a bevy of entrepreneurial exploits and web start-ups under her belt, and an expertise in online travel and innovation, Julia is the perfect match for Loco2. Though she sometimes says things we don’t want to hear, she’s usually right, and her drive and passion for success are contagious.
