Our partners often want Ian at their side as they talk through solutions with their clients. As a partner in the business and with experience in the business-to-business eCommerce field as well as financial sector projects, Ian brings authority to the projects with which he works.
Sue Roberts
Putting effective solutions together takes more than great technical skills and process. Sue has extensive experience in the information solutions field, which she deploys to ensure Village develops long term clients, not flash in the pan projects. She also helps to ensure that we are not just clever programmers but we provide an infrastructure around our work to ensure we are a sure footed and reliable partner to our clients.
Kathryn Todd
To our clients' staff, Kat is their friend in time of need, providing first line support and talking to our users in a way they understand.

Paul Geering
Paul is our embedded systems expert and spends a lot of time juggling the conflicting requirements of minimising battery use while communicating over the internet in his work on low power systems. When he’s not elbow-deep in obscure electronics he works on Enterprise Integration projects and has clocked up a remarkable number of hours on clients’ sites making uncooperative systems communicate.
Dominic Bisset
