Head of Sales
Having worked in the Education sector for 8 years, in addition to carrying out Governor roles in two schools, I’ve had a great deal of exposure to the pressures and difficulties that are faced within the sector. It’s therefore a rewarding experience to promote a resource that is dedicated to helping schools to realise their potential and ultimately improve pupil outcomes.

Test Lead
Having worked in quality assurance, testing software, and systems for a number of years, my main aim has always been to ensure quality and a focus on how the user navigates their way around the product they are using. Working in the education sector for the last couple of years, and having children who are in the school system, I am only too aware of the challenges both teachers and governors face on a day-to-day basis. I feel proud to be part of a team committed to delivering a product providing users with all the up-to-date information they require to carry out their everyday tasks.
