He likes to get stuck into a technical design challenge, working closely with clients to deliver a rich variety of products from security devices through to household appliances for start-ups.
Scott Gordon

Previous to joining Realise, Scott designed and brought to market a portfolio of products for the UK educational sector including woodland and playground apparatus.
Callum Taylor

Tom Launders

Jeff Butt
Finance Director
Jeff has been Realise’s financial guide since incorporation and helps to make sure we stay on the financial map as we grow.
His other passion is orienteering where he coaches both the England and Great Britain junior teams in international competitions. Cool. So now you know who to call if you get lost in the Peak District.
Bean
Head of Security
Bean is Head of Security and hoovering at Realise. He is a Jack Russell through and through, so when he isn’t gazing out of the window at female K9′s, growling at dodgy people, or dreaming about rabbits, he’s busy trying to get us to play with the squeaky bone or feed him biscuits.
