I head up a support team.

In some situations I refer to some issues where support act as 'middle men' between the clients and the developers.

This seems sexist (females in the team), but I cannot find a better term.
Any ideas?

There's always the politically-corrected "middle people," but that might offend some men. =( – Randolf Richardson Jul 23 '11 at 3:31
I did try writing that, but didnt have the right ring. go-between works for my scenario. – Simon Jul 23 '11 at 4:22

The most literal synonym is go-between. A better and more formal-sounding term would be intermediary.

Intermediaries might be the word you're looking for.
