Julian Wates.

The brains behind Sokada…

Julian is the Managing Director of Sokada, with hands-on experience in web design and development stretching back to 1997.

He has a deep understanding of the internet and how businesses can use it to grow, covering everything from bespoke WordPress and WooCommerce builds to smart site structure, on-page SEO, and digital campaigns.

Julian loves nothing more than getting out to network and working closely with clients on clear, practical project plans. His approach is collaborative and down-to-earth: cut the jargon, focus on goals, and deliver websites and digital solutions that make a real difference. He works closely with the Heathfield Chamber of Commerce, championing local businesses and connecting people who can help each other grow.

He walks to the office every day – the long way – because it’s where he does his best thinking. Outside work he’s a keen sports fan (football, American football and rugby all get a look-in) and proud dad of three. At home and in the office he’ll tell you he’s “not really a dog person,” yet somehow Nelly the cockerpoo has him wrapped around her little paw.
