Robin, 43 was one of the first people to sit ‘A’ level computer science and has stayed in computing ever since, graduating from Brunel University with a BSc in Computer Science and Statistics.

With over 20 years of experience, programming and developing business applications, he has a wealth of experience to draw on when advising and implementing software systems for businesses.

Robin is passionate about every business having control over their core systems – one of the reasons why he champions some level of bespoke software solutions for companies, especially if they want to become the best.

Like most small business owners, he lives and breathes his business and has come up with a cunning way where he lists business as a hobby – to make his timesheets look more acceptable!

Away from work, he loves a beer, spending time with his lovely wife, family and friends, walking the dog or just chilling out.

As a keen sports fan and player, he has tried his hand at most sports. His top 5 are Rugby, skiing, golf, cycling and sailing. He still dubiously lists rugby as a sport he plays – not sure how long he can get away with that!

Our Technical Guru is Ivan; with strong database design and development skills he can design a system that encompasses all your needs. He has many years of experience across different platforms and operating systems with the more recent focus being mainly on SQL databases, distributed systems, Windows clients and the web.

He has been a developer commercially since leaving school in 1992, spending the first few years balancing and contracting the theoretical and practical while taking a degree in Computer Science and Operations Research.

He has worked for The Mediterranean Shipping Company in their software development department as a data controller, and on a number of contracts including a freight forwarding company, and a golfer’s nomad club.

Ivan believes that systems can be made to be “intelligent” and strives to achieve this.

In late 2005 Ivan moved to the UK from South Africa to join Kaizen Systems.

He thinks sports are for people that don’t know how to use computers properly... yet. But is keen on a game of squash if you are?

Stephen brings a ’can do attitude’ to Project Management. He will go the extra mile to ensure work is completed on time and to the Client’s satisfaction. He also solves the majority of IT related problems for you as well. Although he does use the phrase ‘PICNIC’ quite frequently (Problem in Chair Not in Computer!).

Judy has worked as a consultant project manager for large corporate businesses over the last 6 years.

Through this experience she has gained a wealth of knowledge in Project Management skills. Delivering on time, in budget and against all odds is the key to good project management.

Previous to this she worked within an extremely focused customer service arena where she learnt that the most important part of any business is the customers. Maintaining high customer service standards and ensuring customer expectations are exceeded, help to ensure good customer satisfaction results.

Judy is hoping to complete the 3 peaks challenge in June 2009 with Rob. The training plan has started, well meetings to discuss the plan have happened in the pub!
