He said: “I am really proud of where ImagePlus is today – the team, the four-day working week, the culture and clients – so I wanted to stay very much involved but, at the same time, I realised that the time was right to make a change to allow our progress to continue.

“We have experienced considerable growth in the last few years and, as they say, the sky’s the limit. We have grown a highly-skilled team and have a very good reputation for delivering results.
“We are now in a position to really drive ImagePlus forward to the next level and having Tash and Matt, with their business and tech experience, at the helm will make that happen.”
The duo previously employed ImagePlus to develop SoccerPots – an app that enables friends, colleagues, clubs and charities to take part in virtual football leagues, and raise money by predicting football results.
Tashlien Nunn added: “Working with ImagePlus to create SoccerPots gave us great insight into the team and its culture. Not only did they create an incredible product, but they were seamless to work with.
“We stayed in contact with Alan, and the opportunity progressed from there. Matt and I have always wanted to bring our specialist skills under one roof and run a business together, and we believe we are well-placed to build on what Alan and the team have created here at ImagePlus.
“It was key for us to retain Alan and we’re so pleased he’s going to be part of the future plans for ImagePlus.
“As a full-service agency, we are committed to crafting experiences and delivering solutions through digital innovation, empowering change and driving growth for our customers.”
