Appointed when I was Director of the Information Security Group, we chose Tristan for his technical ability and willingness to engage with our users… He has initiative and is willing to put forward ideas for changes to enhance both network provisions and day-to-day running of the group.

He’s attended to my computer & network needs with great speed, efficiency, accuracy & courtesy. He won’t stand for any nonsense over security issues though, which is an excellent trait…
