TWO developers from Liverpool agency Mando have struck out on their own with the launch of new company, Made by Jam.
Jim Savage, Mando’s former head of front-end development, and Sam Birch, its former senior front-end developer, say they want to focus on smaller projects with their own company, as Mando continues its push to win larger accounts.
The new firm will focus on front-end development – the code behind the design work users see when they visit websites.
Mr Savage and Mr Birch both spent more than two years at Mando – and worked together for so long they became collectively known as Jam.
Among their projects was a programme called Google Drive, which hit the headlines in publications from the Liverpool Echo to the Wall Street Journal.
It allowed users to drive a virtual car around any city in the world by clicking on internet search engine Google’s maps application.
Mr Savage said: “Our time at Mando Group was immensely enjoyable, and after contributing to Mando’s growing success we now feel the time is right to run our own business.
