Paul Evans, Project Manager, Councillor.info and Co-Founder, Poptel Technology

Paul Evans is one of the co-founders of Poptel Technology Ltd , <http://www.poptech.coop/> a web development agency that specialises in highly accessible and usable websites. Many of their projects are designed to motivate sections of society that currently don't use the internet.

Local councillors are one such group, and Poptel Technology's Councillor.info <http://www.councillor.info/project> is working with twenty local authorities on a project to encourage councillors to become active managers of personal websites.

Paul has also specialised in promoting web technologies to the Labour movement. He has worked on website projects for almost all of the major Unions and many of the smaller ones.

Previously, Paul worked as an assistant to an MEP, specialising in the regulation of Digital TV. In his spare time, he helped the New Statesman to establish the first New Statesman New Media Awards in 1998, and was one of the judges in 2006.
