Brian Kite
Brian is skilled in all things
financial and as such takes care of our accounts.
Known as Brian "The Giant
Killer" Kite (ask him why!), he is essential to the company
as he issues invoices and counts in the money. Woe betide
any school or company who does not pay their bill in time
without proper reason or a note from a parent.
Always reasonable, and a
successful head teacher in his own right, Brian is part of
the solid foundations of the company.
Mike
Freedman
Mike "Vaultman" Freedman is
the secret behind all those wonderful resources and links to
sites that are regularly updated. He spends his days and
evenings sifting through the dross to pull out the pearls
with which to grace the site.
Always ready to help a visitor
who wants something in particular, Mike is an indispensable
part of our team and is also a consultant to BECTa on their
New2Computers project.
Fiona
McShane
Fiona is the latest addition
to our ICTeachers' family. As our chief sales consultant she
works the phone and answers the emails. A reformed
technophobe, she knows what it is to be confused by the
technology and empathises with all those in this state.
With her background as a
qualified nurse, she is the calm, soothing voice of reason
and would be delighted to take you through the process of
getting a website with ICTeachers.
Give her a ring and say hello. |
