John Kitson

John is in our technical support team. His somewhat diverse career ranges from operating theatre technician to cabinet maker via driving buses in Leeds, before succumbing to an addiction to computers in the 1990's. When not dealing with the demands of a large dysfunctional family John enjoys having spare time. He can usually be found mumbling and singing to himself in the corner of the office.

Mike is responsible for despatch and warehousing, cable making & stock control. Mike is an entertaining character teaching us all some new language skills - pro noblem! Mike is also a keen member of the local Pirate Society!
Despatch is getting more dangerous these days!!!

Steve Barnett

Steve is the most laid back of the technical support team, almost horizontal some would say!

Dave Shepherdson

Despatch & warehouse assistant - brought in on an Aprenticeship scheme Dave works in despatch and in the warehouse. Starting off as a quiet young man, he has certainly found his voice now :)
