Lead Frontend Engineer at Co-op
Manchester, England, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhil Wolstenholme is a Lead Frontend Engineer with 12 years’ experience based in Manchester, currently engineering a Next.js 13/14 rewrite of Co-op’s quick-commerce storefront and leading an eight‑engineer team. He blends deep practical expertise in accessibility and frontend performance with modern TypeScript, React 18 patterns (Suspense, RSCs, Server Actions), Tailwind, Zod and TanStack Query to deliver scalable, maintainable UIs. Phil has a track record of building shared component systems and tooling—previously creating Voyager to save multiple sprint cycles across agency Drupal projects—while championing cross-team accessibility practices and training. Comfortable bridging product, design and platform concerns, he’s as likely to prototype new approaches and audit emerging tech as he is to mentor engineers and steer recruitment. An unexpected thread through his career is a start in web ops and content systems (TERMINALFOUR, Drupal) that gives him a pragmatic appreciation for editor experience and real-world constraints.
