I am first and foremost an IT professional with 30 years industry experience. In recent years recognising and embracing my responsibilities as a global citizen I have widened my professional scope beyond the corporate world to include public and 3rd sector organisations.
I have a flexible and constructive approach and a preparedness to ‘go the extra-mile' if the situation / client requires it.

Hello, I'm Malcolm. I'm not entirely sure about this picture of me - if you come back to the site it may have changed. So, what should you know about me …
I'm 50 now, but I started my career working as a Research Fellow at the University of Sussex. Actually I started by studying to take my degree at Sussex. I studied Artificial intelligence and Psychology. After I finished my degree I was offered a research position working on the application of artificial intelligence techniques in current engineering problems. During which time I worked with Rolls Royce, British Aerospace and BT. When that project finished I worked on two other research projects. The first in networked applications and the second in virtual reality, and its application to education. During my time at Sussex I published a dozen research papers and by the time I left I was a Senior Research Fellow (one of only two in the university at that time) and at that point I was ready for a new challenge.
In 1999 I left the university to start my own company with my youngest brother Niall. Niall and I started Sigmer Technologies, an IT solutions, company based at the prestigious Sussex Innovation Center. Sigmer grew year on year and eventually was servicing some very large clients, such as BskyB and at its height was employing 30 people. In 2008 I sold my shares.
Soon I started a small software development company called Colrosa with someone I had worked with at the University, specifically to develop software to schedule small reactive teams of developers and creatives, like the team I had run in my previous company. That work was wrapped up in about 18 months.
