Meet the Team
Alex
Director and Modern Workplace Architect
Alex became a SharePoint consultant in 2005, after graduating from Napier University with an honour’s degree in Computing. Whilst happy to configure servers, Alex found his real passion to be intranets, document management solutions and end-user adoption.
In more recent years Alex expanded his focus to include the entire Microsoft 365 suite. This has seen him gain additional expertise in new areas including data governance and cyber security.
When Alex isn’t helping organisations adopt Microsoft 365, he’s a budding bedroom DJ and a terrible golfer.
Mike
Director and Modern Workplace Architect
Mike graduated from The University of Manchester with a degree in Computer Science and Business. Mike went straight to work on urgent Y2K projects, before quickly starting internal SharePoint roles in the legal and finance sectors. In 2009 Mike made the move to Microsoft consultancy, joining Alex to build a thriving Business Productivity practise for a large Microsoft Partner.
Mike loves talking to customers about SharePoint and Microsoft 365, helping businesses discover new functionality and get the most from their investment.
When Mike isn’t coding or configuring Microsoft 365 he can be found walking and camping in the hills, obsessing over watches or ferrying his two girls to their various activities.
