Francis is a great team player, he is always wanting to go the extra mile to achieving his goals. He has a solid understanding of IT Support and ITIL framework. He is competent and technically minded in working alone and within a team. During his time working within IT he has captured a wealth of knowledge. I would have no hesitation with working together again.
