Brian Kerslake, Managing Director
Brian read Ergonomics & Cybernetics at Loughborough University and programmed for Lyons Bakery then London's Royal College of Art, where he got involved in research into the computer-aided design of school buildings. A PGCE teacher-training course followed, BBC micros arrived in schools, and he got fed up with giving away software he'd written for his class. Today, he continues to look for new ideas for software whilst keeping in mind that if it's better done on paper, then it should be.

Maddy Kerslake, Company Secretary & Accounts
Maddy taught for many years whilst managing Topologika in her spare time; in fact, in one memorable year she not only did both jobs but also gained an O.U. Honours Degree while holding down a part-time job with an estate agent! She escaped the classroom when Topologika moved to Cornwall in 1996, and still manages us with maximum efficiency.

Jules Godfrey
Jules worked with us for a long time helping us design and test software (notably Music Box 2, Words & Music and the Mania series), manage dealers, liaise with advisors and running our marketing and PR activities. She's now gone off to do better things but plans to keep in touch as a freelance from time to time.

Melanie Crosby

Marion has been a primary class teacher, developed music and ICT throughout a KS 2 school and been an associate ICT advisory teacher.
