Over the past 5 years people growth and development has been a significant factor for the business. There is now a corporate structure in place to support the business and keep apace with the future development.
Howard says: " 'You are only as good as the team you have around you' - is a lesson I have heeded over the years. Delegation is key for business growth and development. That's why the people who work with us are committed, bright and forward thinking. The culture we have created is one of excellent customer service, going the extra mile, enjoying work, being creative and creating business WOW."
Our team has grown from one, to a handful, to a corporate structure of over 30 people in a short time.

Currently numero uno in the office 2010 FFL World Cup, but don't like to talk about it...
Christopher
Christopher
Some say I hail from the wrong side of the Pennines, but I am from Lancashire not Yorkshire, so that can't be right.
Colleen
Colleen
I am a born and bred Capetonian turned Londoner, regarded by my peers as the "Mother Hen" of the office. I work hard and would say that I am organised, reliable and generous. I am the best Karaoke singer in the office (though some may disagree). I love buying magazines and books, yet not always reading them and I love chocolate...any kind of chocolate.
Grant
Grant
I’m Grant the office grump! I’m one of the longest standing members of the MSG posse. A wealth of knowledge and super good looking I’m also very modest and down to earth. Bow down before me or prepare for the worst!
Jared
Jared
I come from a land down under; no, the dunnies do not flush in the other direction; yes, I did ride a kangaroo to school. I suffer from an incurable disease known as Gingervitis but despite my debilitating ailment I still try to help out where I can.

..Ahoy hoy! Office Manager Richard here.. I hail from the north of England – hence my love of Sheffield Wednesday, Henderson’s Relish and gravy on my chips. Customer Service, looking after the office and employees are my passions here at MSG.

From sunny Brazil, after a spell in cold Russia, has been living in London ever since. Passionate about: Geology (Volcanoes specially!), outdoors activities, running, cycling, the smell of grass after it's being cut.

I'm Neo, the One, also known as Ann. I have been privileged to witness the tremendous growth of this great company, created by our Founder, Howard Graham. I have three young kids, a husband and a wild cat at home, which helps me cope with this young lot here. My time is split three days in, two days out. Catch me if you can but I'm almost always out.

Hi I’m Supergirl! My secret identity: Charlene. When I’m not out somewhere saving the day, you can catch me at MSG. I’m a busy busy bee. I’m fun loving, caring and love to help – probably why I’ve got my finger in every pie! Well enough talking about me – got to dash off now I think I hear someone in trouble!
Mathew

Putting envelopes in envelopes requires a certain aptitude. Charm? Check. Looks? Check. Unhealthy obsession with The Flaming Lips? Check. Currently awaiting a call from Sir Alan.

Denise
Denise
Denise is the name. I’m quiet, reserved and ghetto fabulous….if I’m not giggling with a customer on the phone; you can usually find me threatening my work mates. Coming from the Caribbean I’m usually the one complaining that: IT’S COLD! Ooh sorry I have to go now…I see some grapes that need nibbling at.
Alvin
Alvin
Don’t ask me where any of the stationery is because I don’t have a clue. My northern charm gets me through difficult situations…mostly. In the workplace I try to learn as much as possible because knowledge is power. Due to the fact that I’m a geek it’s likely you’ll hear me geeking out about a new film, TV show or a computer game. P.S. I don’t have any brothers called Simon or Theodore.
Ondine
Ondine
That burning laptop you see next to me is what might happen if people don't treat my systems with the respect they deserve. Actually, despite my scary appearance I am a really sweet helpful person who will do anything to make the team's job easier.

I repeatedly fix what the rest repeatedly break; welcome to the word of IT Systems Management. Originating from Ireland I spend my time stopping users from using CD trays as cup holders and turning things on and off, I also enjoy Guinness, good whiskey and trying to stay out of trouble.

My bio… hmm where to start? Well first of all I love food; it’s the highlight of my day. I am a very bubbly person; quiet naive which usually results in me getting laughed at. However If you are feeling down I will surely put you in a good mood. One more thing... If you have not tried “haagen Dazs – Belgian Chocolate” you soo should!! It is divine!
Stan

Hi, I’m Carina! I'm lovely and friendly :) and i am wrongly referred to as 'ghetto' as I am from south London which is something I loathe, as South London is as great as I am!
I am most commonly heard to be saying "Shut up Chris" or "Southside!" ...and I love eating cheesecake.
Alicia
Alicia
Can often be found grazing on wasabi peas and sushi for lunch, head nodding away to the latest tunes, whilst also trying to count the amount of calories she just consumed so she can feel bad about it later…but she will still eat the wasabi peas as (tasty) punishment the next day...it’s a vicious circle...
