Bio

I co-founded Code For The People (CFTP), a specialist WordPress consultancy working with clients like the Rolling Stones, EMI, Stephen Fry and UK Government Departments Defra and DFID. CFTP was acquired by Automattic, and I work in Automattic’s enterprise division to this day. You can follow my personal Twitter @simonwheatley, or read my (fairly random) blog posts.

Viva WordPress!
