New Employee – Olly Bennett

After working with us through his own company as a contract tester, Double Eleven have now offered Oliver Bennett a full-time job as Producer and Test Lead. His great work on a small EA Mobile project (our Skate It update for EA’s iPhone SKU) was enough to convince us we wanted him on our team permanently. We’re looking forward to watching Olly grow into a more experienced Producer with us. Welcome aboard, Mr. Bennett.
