More new faces join the Shoal

Back in 2020, we made a number of promotions across Firefish. We’re delighted to say that 2021 is showing no sign of slowing down – we’ve just made another round of promotions, created new roles internally and hired more Fish, in what is the biggest round of growth in the history of Firefish!

Here’s who these Fish are and what they’ll be doing...

Scott Sorbie – Customer Engagement Team Lead

In the three years that Scott has been with us, he’s sailed his way from Support Executive all the way to now Lead our award-winning Support team.

Scott’s hard work and dedication to supporting Firefish customers is unwavering. As we’re sure our customers would agree, there really is no better Fish to be running this team.
