Meet the Pageticker Team
Hi there! We're Tom and Nic, the creators of Pageticker.
We're former teachers and parents to three wonderfully different children. We've lived the daily challenge of getting kids excited about reading, and we know just how magical it is when a child finally curls up with a book they love.
Before Pageticker, we founded DoodleMaths, which gave us years of hands-on experience in edtech and a real understanding of what schools need to help children thrive.
Pageticker is what we built in response. Our mission is simple: give adults the tools to motivate children to read, and help them find books they'll genuinely love.

Rebecca Hill
Business Support Manager
Whilst Becky is the newest member of Pageticker, she previously worked with Tom and Nicola (our founders) for almost 15 years. She wears many hats and gets involved in most areas of Pageticker - from finances, to marketing, and looking after our school's customers.
Outside of Pageticker, Becky's life is anything but quiet! Between keeping up with her two teenage girls, she loves car boot sales, theatre trips, and treating the family to a cream tea whenever she gets the chance.
Becky's Top 3 Books:
1. Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less by Jeffrey Archer
2. The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
