Aaron Whiffin is the owner of Webbed Feet UK, a web development agency in Salisbury. We’ve known each other since mid-2020 when we met at a networking event called The Boardroom Network. Aaron and I share similar views and opinions on the creative industry as a whole and I wanted to get him on to talk in more detail about Speculative or Picth work.
