CV

Freelance contractor who enjoys Roll outs, Field Service, Decoms, Installations, office moves, IT Upgrades,Break/Fix and short term immediate projects. Have several years of experience and happy clients and like to get my hands dirty in resolving jobs to a happy conclusion. My short term and immediate client projects included Techxpress, 2e2, Barclays, Concorde Logistics, Dixons Group Ltd, NTL, Alliance & Leicester, Rico Logistics, NHS, Lunn Poly, Banking, Government, Investment banks, Inland Revenue, T Systems, LloydsTsb, Luton Airport, UBS DataCentre, British Telecom, Hertfordshire County council, Essex County Council. As this site only allows10 jobs to be seen on CV, I have removed Short Term projects and Non-IT Positions. Full Cv can be emailed later if required. Looking for a new contract preferably in a similar role but like to avoid too much travels this time. My contract rate has been around £21-28 and I would like to maintain that as I have a lot of experience and successful client projects that reflect my CV. I would love to build further on my Datacentre skills if given the opportunity. However, All is negiotable depending on the role.
