Bio
Spencer Wyer
After the merger of EDM Group and Sala International, Shawn soon earned my respect as a trust worthy and dedicated operations manager. He helped me understand the ins and outs of the business and provided analytical information that supported important business decisions. A good man with a wide skill set ranging from people management to technology. I was sorry that he decided to leave us and rerun to South Africa.

Having worked with Shawn for several years at GraphicData, then Sala and finally as part of EDM Group following the merger at the end of 2010, I was sad to see him return to South Africa in March last year. Shawn has considerable experience of records management from an IT and operational perspective. He is also client facing. Diligent, reliable and fully committed to any task that is required of him, I have no hesitation in recommending Shawn as a valuable member of any company.
Caroline Petronis
I worked with Shawn for a number of years in his capacity as IT Manager and then Operations Manager, he has in depth knowledge of the Records Managment industry and his experience, expertise and professionalism were invaluable to the company. It was a pleasure to work with Shawn during his time in the UK.
