Bio
Mark Garland
I have worked with Indika for close to four years - both closely in the same team and then in a wider capacity. Indika has always impressed me with his dedication to the job, the hard work he puts in and his ability to get on with anyone. He is a big loss for Telecom and a great catch for any new employer. I wish him well.
Michelle Rowell
