Before Thyngs, Neil was founder and CEO of Proxama plc [PROX], the global leader in Proximity Marketing. Proxama pioneered mobile proximity marketing and mobile contactless payments (now commonly known as Apple/Android Pay) for many global brands, which helped inspire his thinking behind Thyngs. As well as developing and leading the future of Thyngs, Neil is also co-founder of Norwich-based tech hub, Whitespace which is now also part of the Barclays Eagle Lab network. When he needs to unwind from all that tech, Neil enjoys spending time with his family in the beautiful Norfolk countryside, playing the guitar, and strategy games.

Wayne is the brains behind the Thyngs tech: he keeps the team up to date with the latest tech and software developments. He also designs and builds the tech behind the Thyngs platform (with a little help from the rest of the team). His first software gig was building simulations for the UK and Italian MOD, before moving on to consultancy and games development. More recently, he founded the software products and team at Epos Now, and won Queens Award for Enterprise Innovation. His passions outside work include his VW camper-van, and being a dad.

Chris manages the financial aspects for Thyngs on a part-time basis. Chris previously worked with Neil as CFO for Proxama, successfully raising funds and managing the financial backbone of the fast growing business. Chris, is also CEO of Numitas, managing a team of experienced FDs and CFOs providing financial consultancy to growth businesses across the UK. He is an NED or adviser to several technology ventures and on the board of The Cambridge Phenomenon.
