Dorian describes himself as a 'Corporate Hippy', equally at home around the boardroom table as the camp-fire. He started Skoosh back in 2001 with the single aim of proving that there is a better way to do business. Once he's done that, you'll find him back in his hammock plotting to change the business world some other way.

Matt traveled down the coast from his native Cornwall to join Skoosh and has navigated the company through so many ups and downs he may as well have become a fisherman. He's unquestionably the most prolific person in social media and replies to anyone and everyone at lightning speed. Outside of Skoosh he might be playing the ukulele, drinking beer or drinking beer (sic).

Not everyone in Skoosh resides along the white sandy (okay, brown pebbly) beaches of Brighton. Eugene, our lead developer, heads up a team of developers in Russia and the ex-Soviet Republics. Along with his team he has created what we believe to be the best technology in the travel industry and a cornerstone of Skoosh. With a couple of drinks inside him, Eugene will surprise you with a heart-felt wedding ballad.

A true consultant, Mike sports a perma-tan and was saying "we" and "us" almost as soon as he'd stepped through the door. But it wasn't long before we realised what an amazing asset Mike is to Skoosh and, having polished our accounts into shiny working order, "we" now discuss all aspects of the business together. Out of Skoosh Mike can be seen in a crisp white shirt cruising the Mediterranean islands.

Not every company has a wizard but we do. The "Magical Lorenzo" is a long term adviser to SkooshKarma and now looks after all our main partnerships. When he's not in the office he's out there making people better with hypnotherapy and other magical powers.

Stuart has been giving our customers the best possible service since Spring 2012. He loves customer service so much that in his spare time he "mystery shops" our local shops & restaurants to ensure they keep their own standards high. He’s also our resident film buff, and rates "Blues Brothers" as his favourite film, although he draws the line at wearing sunglasses in the dark.

The other half of our customer service supreme team, Vojta has settled into Skoosh life well since joining near the end of 2012, although it may help that he is from Dorian’s favourite European city, Prague... He plays floorball in his spare time, a kind of non-icey version of ice hockey which none of us understand, as well as volunteering his time to work in Britain’s only charity pub, the Robin Hood.

After a year away globe-trotting Lua returned to England determined to pursue a career in furniture-making. But she’s still with us on the all important cake-Tuesdays and she’s also so deep inside the thinking behind SkooshKarma she will always be part of us, cakes or no cakes.

My mum was involved in Skoosh from its inception. Indeed, from my inception. Every concept, every strategy, even every font. She hated holidays and no hotels were ever good enough for her. If she doesn't like SkooshKarma, God help the duty-manager.

Tom's rise to the top of Skoosh makes for an amazing story in its own right. Refusing to accept the rejection from his original application he more or less forced his way in and, within four years, he was running the show. He's now away doing his own things elsewhere but still provides valuable assistance and insight.

As Industrious and as rare as Oompa Loompa's, Georgi and Milan are the brains behind much of the inner workings of SkooshKarma. No-one knows how they do things, just that everything they touch works brilliantly. Next time you find exactly the right hotel for you, these are the guys to thank.

More than just moral support over the years, of which she offered loads, Nicole taught us what a brand means and how to communicate our values. She is as inspirational as she is talented and not just in the office. If you like salmon and spinach, no-one makes better.

Adrian has contributed more to SkooshKarma than anyone realises, himself included. An English language teacher, he makes sure every comma sits where it should but he also has outstanding abilities to grasp complex business ideas and to assess whether they'll sink or swim. He can be thanked for InstantKarma among many other things.

Together they're our designers so there's no disguising their brilliance. Anything you come to them with, they'll make better. Their tagline "If you can imagine it, we can do it", understates their abilities. When we launch our next version of SkooshKarma you'll see their talents in all their glory.

This father daughter combo have written some of the most incisive books on marketing and branding. If you're new to the subject, "e;The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding" is as enjoyable as it is informative. Jack Ries also co-authored our bible, "e;Positioning, the Battle for your Mind". Sounds scary, but isn't.
