Our aim is to help make you our next success story and as you can see we have an awful lot of combined skills, experience and expertise to ensure you become just that!
| Paul Sykes, Managing Director An entrepreneur from childhood with a background in accountancy and IT, specialising in the development of services into highly valued "packages" that customers love to buy and you will love to deliver. Very happily married, besotted with granddaughter Abigail, loves cricket, a "practising" Christian, and true Yorkshireman - Yorkshire pudding BEFORE roast beef not with it! |
Simon Warwick, Director of Franchise Support Happily married to Jane with 2 young children. I love the outdoor life, cycling and walking and I am also active in several local community groups. |
| Lynne Sykes, Director of People Care Lynne is enterprising, driven, pragmatic and unflappable. Her background could hardly be broader, encompassing general commerce, personnel, nursing, and sales support in the “big ticket” software sales arena, to name but a few. Many of her more advanced skills have been developed through necessity - having to deputise for board-level or senior management bosses when she was their PA or senior secretary. Lynne quickly establishes rapport and engenders trust and respect within colleagues and 3rd parties through her alertness, thoroughness, uncanny ability to anticipate needs and developing situations. |
| Peter Green, Director of Technology Peter is a strategy and business systems transformation expert with a background in general and functional management and twenty years as a managing consultant, He has a wide ranging knowledge of IS environments, architectures and an insatiable curiosity for leading edge technology but always with a view to the business benefit and the organisational impact. He has previously held posts as IT Director for a services group, Head of Transformation Consulting for a major outsourcing company, a Lead Principal for a “big 4” consultancy, and various senior management roles in quoted and unquoted companies. |
Scott Jackson, Senior Creative & Technical Advisor When I'm not playing with the latest techy gadgets I enjoy marine fish keeping and have a passion for cinema and music (live and in the shower!) |
