About
I joined Flex IT in 2010 from my role as an IT manager for a local company. I’ve worked in a variety of technical roles, all have been associated with managing IT at all levels. In my early days, I was the de facto local expert on computers when my office of twenty or so staff had only a single PC between them. As IT emerged as a commonplace tool in the workplace, my skills expanded to encompass a broad range of equipment, applications and services. This progressed to joint ownership of my own IT support company, supporting local businesses with their IT needs. I’m decidedly a techno-geek, although professionally I understand that businesses need stability and consistency rather than technical change for the sake of it.Organisation
