A temporary role

Head of engineering from day one! Largely because I was the only permanent engineer at the time. I had responsibility for the growth and management of the operations side of this successful technology reseller. Reporting directly into the board, I grew the client services team and was, ultimately, responsible for all aftersales operations, from installation, to maintenance, ordering/provisioning and billing, with our speciality being Ericsson/Aastra/Mitel telephone systems, cloud VoIP and internet connectivity.I enjoyed the 13 years I spent at DV02 immensely, helping this business grow, dealing with some very high profile clients, and learning an awful lot myself. A successful buy out by Daisy in 2018 resulted in my change of direction and desire to start my own business.

My role was to manage the existing Ericsson infrastructure throughout the EMEA region, provide high level support to the existing engineer base and to advise the management team of any recommendations. I left in 2005 after being approached by DV02.

Horsham/Warrington

Ericsson transitioned to Damovo as part of the sale of their Enterprise Services division. I took voluntary redundancy in 2002.

Burgess Hill/Daten Park/Surbiton

Progression from Telecomms Apprentice to Engineer during my time at Ericsson (and later Damovo). During this time I worked in several fields encompassing traditional TDM telephony, Telephony Applications and the emerging VoIP technologies. I obtained vast amounts of experience in this role, leading large projects for customers, liaising with contractors and third parties. A good deal of my time was spent working on Ericsson's Voice Network Renewal contract for British Rail, leading the implementation of their major sites around the UK. I eventually took voluntary redundancy in 2002 with the aim of taking some time off and progressing my career in a different direction.
