Bio
Symon Thurlow
John gets to the source of the problem and comes up with a robust solution for it quickly. He's also the only person I know with the intellectual capacity to understand Microsoft Licensing. All jokes aside, I highly value John as a service provider, because you can rest assured that what he suggests will be thought through, cost effective, and guaranteed to work first time.

Having worked with John I found him to be customer (internal & external) and solution focused. He was also a key figure in developing a culture of excelling and having fun. Having now worked with John as a supplier of software and services, I have found the engagement reassuring and I trust that the desired outcome will be delivered. Highly recommended.
