Nick Redding
Managing Director
Nick spent four years at Ayima, and was Head of SEO Strategy before starting Reddico with Luke back in 2012. He’s been in the industry for 12 years.
He has worked in the most competitive spaces, including igaming, travel and financial services, for brands like Party Poker, FoxyBingo, Audley Travel, BlackRock & iShares, Aviva, RAC and Direct Line.
Nick has managed international outreach campaigns across these industries, building links in countries such as Russia, Slovenia, Poland and Sweden, as well as in the UK and the US, delivering 600+ links per month.
He is now responsible for the overall performance of the business and shaping its future direction, alongside supporting and enabling the team to work at their best.

Luke Redding
Founder and Director
Luke's journey into SEO started back in 2010 through the need to promote his own online projects, but with very limited budget he chose to explore SEO. After much success, he pursued SEO as a consultant and within agencies for a number of years, before deciding to setup Reddico in 2012. Today Luke primarily looks after new business opportunities and growth strategy for Reddico.

Craig McDermott
Operations Director
Craig has been working in the SEO industry for over 11 years, both agency roles and on his own sites. He previously had a strong focus on automotive but has experience across a range of sectors, including ecommerce and publishing.
Craig has run SEO campaigns and consulted for brands such as Figleaves, Groupon, News UK, the Cotswold Company, Driving.co.uk, Lookers, Mercedes, Mazda and Sytner.
Craig oversees all client delivery and the operations team, ensuring they have everything they need to produce great work for our clients.

Carl Hendy
Strategy Director
Carl’s career in SEO and ecommerce spans over 15 years. He previously held leadership roles as the Head of Global Search for one of the UK’s largest SEO agencies, and VP of SEO for the largest independent digital agency in Europe.
Carl has managed digital marketing efforts for FTSE and NASDAQ-listed clients, including Eventbrite, BlackRock, Aviva, John Lewis, Groupon, O2, Marks & Spencer and Bwin.Party. He has delivered client success for some of the most competitive keywords, in Google’s toughest niches, including gambling, fashion, telecoms, insurance, retail and publishing.
Carl is responsible for our commercial direction, alongside supporting marketing and new business development.

Lewis Pugsley
