Hey! My name is John https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-reynolds-74511660/ and I started here at Ashby as IT Manager around 6 months ago, excited to meet you!

You should be able to provide clear examples from previous experience of what innovation and technical excellence can look like in the IT/Client Engineering space.
