Alex Fenton

Assistant Manager

Alex joined NB at the beginning of 2015 after relocating to Shetland from Edinburgh. As Assistant Manager, Alex looks after our client-facing team of project managers and account managers, all sales enquiries, and leads on many of our business development activities.

Over his time at NB, Alex has driven forward successful projects and client relationships for the likes of Orkney.com, Sheila Fleet Jewellery, Dundas Estates, and numerous small businesses across Shetland, Orkney and mainland Scotland.

With family connections in Orkney and Shetland, Alex has a strong knowledge of both island groups and a business brain that can help decipher the opportunities and challenges organisations face in these areas.

Alex’s major achievements at NB to date include:

  • Managing the development and maintenance of Orkney.com to drive constant improvements and developments to the website and marketing activity over several years
  • Achieving significant growth in NB’s services, reaching new markets and building strong client relationships and partnerships
  • The implementation and management of NB’s internal project management software to improve processes and maximise the efficiency of project management activities
  • Managing the redevelopment of the Sheila Fleet Jewellery website, achieving significant improvements in performance, online sales and user experience.

Alex’s background is in the creative industries having run a successful audio company and music studio in Edinburgh. With extensive experience in business and marketing strategy, e-commerce and website design, he brings balance of creative and technical expertise to both client projects and NB’s internal business development activities.

When not in the office, Alex can usually be found crafting his homebrew ales and bread-baking skills or strumming a guitar to a background of electronic beats from his croft base in the South mainland.
