Bio
Salma Bi BA (Hons)
The best way to describe Colin would be a 'multi talented Manager'! There is nothing Colin can't do! He is a lovely person to work with and always puts a smile on my face :), an excellent manager, and overall a great member of the Andros group.
Chris Jones
Colin has all the characteristics that make a great IT Manager - calm in a crisis, broad shouldered, knowledgeable, positive and good humoured. Colin consistently sourced and implemented best value, leading edge IT infrastructure and software, on time and within budget, while at the same time managing current resources tactically and fairly given the ever increasing demands for IT resources across the UK group. The improvements so far have provided a noticeably more reliable and resilient Andros UK network upon which to base future expansion. Colin always finds a sensible, workable solution to any business IT issue and his work ethic and commitment make him a pleasure to manage and work with. Highly recommended.
