About William Hale

Starred on Channel 5's documentary series 'My Extreme OCD Life' in 2017, exploring what life is like living with OCD. It also featured my work as a web developer, which helped propel my new web business, Milkshake Creative.I started my career in 2015 as a freelance web developer after selling a successful plane spotting app I built while still in high school. The app was built for plane spotters to log their aircraft sightings and build their own communities (a first for an untouched market of plane spotters). I later sold the app to a well-known flight tracking company/app in 2016.In 2017, after working freelance for 2 years, I wanted to scale up and launch a digital agency; Milkshake Creative was born. Based in Wilmslow, we have supported businesses launch and develop their online presence, with a strong focus on fintech and ecommerce.During the first lockdown in 2020, we started to shift our focus to ecommerce web development for new clients at Milkshake Creative, as this was in huge demand for retail businesses that hadn’t already moved into ecommerce.During lockdown in 2020, I created PickandMix.com™ - an online-only/virtual pick and mix store stocking over 150 of everyone's favourite sweets (Haribo, Maoam, and everything in between!). It is now one of the UK's biggest online pick and mix stores, with over bags sold in the last 12 months and a loyal customer base. We are proud to be a supplier for a number of events agencies wanting to add a sweet touch to their displays. We also supply directly to companies for internal/onsite corporate events.If you need a sugar fix - https://pickandmix.comIf you need a new website - https://milkshakecreative.co.uk
