      IT Project Manager

      Outsourced IT Solutions Providers / MSP. I joined JADe in a technical capacity at the start of my career, and quickly identified numerous improvements and efficiency savings we could make on the Service Desk / Helpdesk. Over the next 5 years I moved into full time Service Desk Management, and then widened the scope to overall IT Operations Management, recruiting my own team around me as the company grew.In 2009 we established Ethical IT and I headed up the Operations and Project Management functions of this new company, which we quickly grew to over £1m a year turnover and which continues to grow today. I recruited new Service Desk and Service Delivery Managers and then focussed solely on Project Management and Business Development, either via existing customers or coordinating Tender responses and bids then, and the delivery of the resulting work.
