ANDY WHEATLEY – FOUNDER & MANAGING DIRECTOR

+25 years experience

There’s been a lot of change at Rima since we began in 1987. However, for Andy, some things never change – His love of a happy client, Charlton Athletic and a good cup of coffee, and always in that order of importance.

STEPHEN RICHARDS – SENIOR DESIGNER

National Diploma in Graphic Design, +20 years experience

Steve’s been with Rima right from the very start. His strengths lie in creating identities that reflect exactly what it is they represent (He’s done a fair few logos in his time). Obsessive when it comes to perfection. 3D Graphics is the latest discipline to experience Steve’s relentless pursuit of perfection, clients are already reaping the rewards. Known in the office as ‘The Oracle’, there’s not a lot Steve can’t give explanation to.

COLIN FOO – SENIOR DESIGNER

BA (Hons) Graphic Design (Central St. Martins), HND Graphic Design (London Institute), MCSD, +10 years experience

You’ll always find Colin doodling, so it’s no surprise illustration is his particular forte. Outside of the studio he somehow manages to find the time to create captivating stop motion animations AND, undertake fire dancing, climbing, camping and capoeira (Brazilian martial art). Oh and help run a soup kitchen for the homeless. His (self generated) nickname is wonderfoo. But as you can see, it’s hard to argue with it.

ANDY ALDEN – SENIOR ARTWORKER

+25 years experience

Presentations: Word, PowerPoint or Keynote. He’s the go to man. In fact, so good is he, Shell now make sure he is at all of their high profile conferences. Because it’s not just uni students who leave presentations till the last minute. Our thanks must go to BP, who effectively built the Andy we now have. His love for cooking is infectious, and after speaking with him you always feel inspired to cook more. There is a downside to him however. Arsenal FC.

TREFOR SMITH – MARKETING EXECUTIVE

BA (Hons) Marketing (Bournemouth University)

Responsible for the Rima brand and helping to shape Rima’s exciting future. His ‘simple is beautiful’ attitude, strategic mindset and deep understanding of social media ensures Rima is heading in the right direction. He told us his passions were sport, travel and films. They’re not. It’s peanut butter bagels. He has one every morning without fail. And is often seen with a second during the 4 o’clock slump. Hence his nickname, bagel boy.

The reason for it? Toms love of sailing. He also has a love of fast cars and beer. There’s a rock star in all of us. Some just show it more than others, don’t they Tom.
