Chris Plummer
Hi, I’m Chris Plummer, and More Time To is me, plus a small team I’ve worked with for years.
I’ve been building websites since 1996. After university I started at Glaxo Wellcome, originally writing for their new intranet. A quick HTML course later I dived headlong into web development, and I’ve loved every minute since.
More Time To is the healthcare membership arm of Freestyle Internet Services Ltd, the Bedford company I founded in 2002. We’ve worked with healthcare membership organisations since 2004.
Why does More Time To exist?
Because healthcare membership organisations deserve better than being treated like any other commercial client.
More Time To was inspired by my work with healthcare membership associations. Unlike commercial clients, associations that focus on benefiting society resonate with me — they prioritise inclusivity and sustainability. The impact we can make together, enhancing people’s lives, gives me immense satisfaction.
What kind of projects do you specialise in?
Anything that saves people time — particularly automating admin, and helping members talk to each other.
I have a particular interest in projects that reduce admin time, especially ones that automate tasks. Also anything that improves member communication, such as private networks for members to exchange ideas and knowledge. Past favourites include easoconnect.org and fgmnetwork.org.uk.
Online learning platforms have become a speciality — systems like cpd.obesitycanada.ca and easoconnect.org, along with bespoke systems for Birthrate Plus and Obesity Canada.
Is it just you?
No. I’m the person you’ll deal with, but I’m not the only person working on your site.
I’m fortunate to be accompanied by a small, dedicated team of developers, content managers, designers, QA specialists, writers and SEO experts. I generally serve as the primary contact for our clients, and my team is always ready to step in if I’m not around.
What do you do when you’re not working?
I’m a lover of nature and conservation. I help look after a small nature reserve in Bedford and I love hiking. My fondness for nature is intricately tied to digital sustainability, which I consistently try to build into my work — it connects my professional life with the conservation I love.
And to let you into my world: a deep appreciation for 70s rock and alternative music, and I can’t resist a good sci-fi story. Yes, a bit of a geek beyond web development.
What healthcare membership organisations say
“When we first started working together More Time To was just looking after our Learning Management System, but they have taken over all of our websites now. Having Chris onboard has increased my capacity. He’s like a duplication of me!”
“More Time To’s healthcare membership association experience is super helpful and useful. For example, on the EASO Connects site we could have people from 36 associations and 150 centres all logging in at the same time. Chris understands how our association works.”
