Hannah Bouckley

Editor

Hannah has almost nine years experience writing about (and playing with) gadgets. She was Brand Reviews Editor on T3/T3.com, before that working on a range of photography titles including What Digital Camera. She's always on the lookout for a device or app that enables her to squeeze more things into each day.

Consultant

Andrew Lim is a phone guru who has travelled the world in search of the latest mobile tech. He was the mobile phones editor at CNET UK for three years, has written for GQ and the Telegraph, and judged the best handset for the Global Mobile Awards 2009. When he's not looking at mobiles, he's eating dim sum.

Thomas Newton

Staff writer

Thomas Newton is an in-house staff writer for Recombu.com, a self-styled Android fanatic and is generally obsessed with all things mobile. While he doesn't quite share Andrew Lim's enthusiam for dim sum, he is partial to a mean phal from time to time.

Tom Hopkins

Head of Sales & Partnerships

Tom heads up business development for Recombu and has been instrumental in bringing on board the current network of commercial partners. Tom joined us following over 10 years in business development for primarily online companies, so knows a thing or two about websites. When he gets time for a rest he sometimes indulges in some not too bad guitar playing.

Abbie Allport

Partnership Account Manager

Abbie works alongside Tom to manage Recombu's commercial partnership accounts. Coming from a marketing agency background she is key to building solid client relationships and keeping everything flowing smoothly. Abbie is never far from her 2 favourite things... her trusty iPhone, and a cheeseboard.

Owen Gerrard

Technical manager

Owen Gerrard is the resident geek, technical manager and lead developer on Recombu. A quote from The Matrix best explains his MO: "What are you waiting for? You're faster than this. Don't think you are, know you are. Come on. Stop trying to hit me and hit me." In fact, it's been said that he actually is the matrix.

Steve King

Lead designer

Steve King is the lead designer for Recombu and is most comfortable when communicating in a combination of pictures and HTML tags. Aside from making fantastic websites, Steve can be found drinking far too much black coffee while developing an unhealthly obsession with his iPhone and Mac.
