Alex Maggs’s Experience
-
Director
ProAction Networks Ltd
(Information Technology and Services industry)
March 2008 — Present (1 year 5 months)
ProAction Networks is a small dynamic technology company - we specialise in wired and wireless networks for small businesses and organisations, and the surrounding technologies - mainly mobility - the ability to link multiple locations to share data, systems and improve communications, so as a result, we often supply telecommunications, power solutions, systems, including windows and apple hardware, file storage, redundency and backup.
As director, owner, salesman, engineer and business developer, I do everything! I try to balance bread and butter revenue generation with pushing the company forward into 21st century work practices and portfolios to replace outdated models of sales, implimentation and support of data and telecommunications.
We have a thriving interest in dynamic web technologies, from the design to the coding of both front and backend web presence. We're always looking for contacts to share knowledge, resources, wealth! -

New England Telephone Company Ltd
(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Telecommunications industry)
May 2002 — March 2008 (5 years 11 months)
As the Engineering and Technical Manager of this small but growing Telecommunications company I had such a wide range of responsiblities, it's hard to know where to start. It included recruitment, account management, direct engineering and troubleshooting, personnel development and strategy, business development, training and project management.
I was directly responsible for both national and international telecommunications projects, mainly in Europe and North America. -

Alex Maggs’s Interests:
I love retro computing - having grown up on a diet of Atari 2600, Sinclair Spectrum and Commadore Amiga. I buy and sell this kind of equipment all the time as part hobby, part beer money. I compete in triathalon - mainly as an aid to keeping the weight down - if I didn't have something to aim for, i would turn into even more of a porker, no doubt. I have compeleted two Ironman competitions - Austria 2006 and Switzerland 2007, which is a triathalon comprising of 2.4km swim, 180km bike and finishes with a 42km run. I aim to do another european Ironman 2010, with 2 years training hopefully giving me a much better time than before.
Alex Maggs’s Honors:
I have several industry qualifications, notibly a CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate).
