Hampshire: Digital change agency grows team with three new hires

Hampshire-based digital and organisational change agency, Domain7, has hired three new team members as a result of business growth and contract wins during 2020 and the early part of 2021.

Rob Arkell joins the team in the new role of growth director, together with David Otton as a web developer, and Kirstie Adam as operations manager.

Domain7 has won major new contracts over the last year including work on a virtual graduation ceremony in collaboration with Imperial College London, as well as contracts with Newcastle University and ongoing collaborations with Bangor University and The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. They are also working on a new project with Hampshire-based Butser Farm. The agency will shortly begin work on a new project with Leeds City Council using their own bespoke CivilSpace hub that provides a platform that can be used to share community-driven ideas with community groups around decisions that might impact them.

Growth director, Arkell, said: “I’m delighted to join the Domain7 team at this pivotal point in their development and excited to build on what has been done so far. Domain7’s specialism in transformation design continues to be sought after and I am looking forward to being part of their continued UK expansion, growing sales and well-aligned new client partnerships.”

Jon Faulkner, managing director of Domain7 said: “Organisations are prioritising digital transformation during the pandemic as they pivot and adjust their operations so they can be accessed more easily online. We have seen demand from a number of major UK universities who are keen to update old legacy systems and benefit from new digital solutions that can completely transform the way they store information and communicate with their core audiences. We have the knowledge and expertise to provide that service and are now ready to grow our customer base more widely into new sectors including local Government and charity work. Rob’s role alongside our two other new hires will help us to do that.”
