Tim Reader
Tim runs the show at Long White Digital, supported by a team of talented designers and developers.
Tim has been leading a double life for over 20 years. Having graduated from university with a music degree but no ambition to work in music full time, he retrained in Web (still rather a new and alternative career choice in 2001, and often capitalised!) and got his first job as an “Internet Officer” — a title that didn’t make a lot of sense then or now — for NHS Blood and Transplant. This was a very happy development, which led to two other jobs in public and charity sectors (one for Futurelab, the education researcher and one for Enable Interactive a digital agency specialising in charities).
Long White Digital was born out of those fulfilling experiences and the aspiration that, if he was going to push pixels around a screen for a living, he wanted to do it for good causes. Tim continued to make music for pleaure, and sometimes cash, during those years and once Long White Digital was established in 2011, returned to music-making with renewed purpose – conducting in particular – and founded The Epiphoni Consort a non-professional choir for professional-ability amateurs in 2014.
