How can I help?
Profile
Since helping the headteacher press Shift+Break on the BBC Micro at primary school in the ’80s I’ve been helping folk get the best out of technology ever since.
I joined Excellimore in 2002 and working in a number of roles, have loved helping our clients make sense of the ever-changing technologies available to them.
Now we’ve joined Lugo, I’m working as Client Technology Manager and am responsible for ensuring our client IT systems meet the needs of their business, and helping our clients plan ahead. We’re as keen as our clients to avoid IT surprises!
Outside work, I’m kept busy with my not-so-young family, and caring for a foster baby. When not providing daddy-taxi service, we enjoy walking and cycling in rural West Lothian.
