Paul Webley

Managing Director

Paul is the founder and Director of Blaze. After spending 10 years working in digital marketing and consultancy around the UK. Paul decided to take a jump out of the big corporate safety bubble and start Blaze Media in 2017.

” I felt like I could open an agency with a fresh perspective. Taking on board everything I had learned dealing with large corporates and applying the tech and know-how to SME’s. Since opening Blaze, I have further respect for the small business owner\director as I have now been through the same trials and tribulations that they have! Owning a business of any size is hard and I know that we try to make our clients lives easier by taking the marketing head-ache away so they can concentrate on growing their business”

Outside of growing the agency, Paul loves holidaying with his family as well as running and cycling to stay young and fit!

SEO Manager

Thomas started his journey in digital marketing as an apprentice and since then has worked both in agencies and client side.

During his years in the industry he's worked with several specialisms such as graphics, web design, and email marketing. However, he now specialises in SEO as he loves the reward of boosting rankings and vying for the top spots on Google.

When he isn't obsessing over keywords, Tom loves PC gaming and has a fully kitted out office at home. He's also a gymhead and has competed in 3 power lifting competitions, he's big into his footie but is accident prone so we often find him hobbling around the office.
