Bio
Melissa Dixon
Having worked with Richard for over one year on various projects, I can attest that he would be an invaluable addition to any team. As IT Manager for our bustling London-based organisation, he brings a wealth of expertise and experience, as well as a can-do attitude and a strong sense of devotion to each and every task. Richard is an extremely capable project manager with strong multitasking skills and a keen eye for detail. As an instructor, he can make even the most non-techies among us understand how to proficiently use complex software systems, all while having fun in the process. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to any company.

Richard and I worked together on a number of projects during my time with ECIS. He's a maverick with skills in many areas, which was a huge asset for a small team with tight deadlines. There were multiple projects that needed managing, and Richard was able to prioritise and coordinate work so that front-end and back-end content and data were ready when needed. It was invaluable working with him when I did, and it would be a treat to work with Richard again in the future.
