A professional, ITIL qualified, IT specialist with excellent customer, incident and problem management skills
Nottingham, United Kingdom
I have powerful skills in both people and problem management, along with a strong ability to provide technical consultancy to customers. I'm technically inclined, and have a natural ability to pick up new skills, particularly in development. I also have a Ian additional strong aptitude for PC hardware and build.
My general strengths are my ability to listen, adapt and learn (I am particularly adept at picking up new skills with little assistance). Extremely organised, I have an excellent ability with customers, with organisational and planning skills to match. I also have experience in problem management and escalation of issues, with production of reports and documentation.
I have a proven track record of service improvement with experience in analysing trends, establishing root causes and improving and implementing best practice as a result.
