Nigel Cottam

Mark understands how to build relationships with customers and then meet their needs through technology. He is excellent at engaging with both end customers and internal teams, helping them to define requirements and then create a solution to meet these needs. Mark is a great team player, both advising and listening to the wider team whether Sales, Management or pre-sales to help craft a technical and commercial solution that all parties are prepared to commit to. One of Marks' great strengths is attention to detail which proved critical in winning the bids I worked with him on for Public Sector. I would highly recommend Mark and think he would be a valued asset to any organisation.
