Ten Years of Innovation from Nexus

This October, Nexus celebrates 10 years as the leading ICT provider in the South West. The business has expanded steadily to over 65 staff to meet the growing needs of its local, national and international customers. 2008 is proving to be a tough year for many businesses as the economic slow-down and credit crunch starts to have an impact across many industry sectors. However, innovation and effective use of IT and Communications can improve business performance, reduce costs and even open new revenue streams. Nexus help businesses and organisations of all sizes formulate their business computing and communications strategy. To ensure our customers gain maximum benefit from their investment in technology we have recruited the following new personnel to join the Nexus Team.

Ashley Loder - Software Support & QA Assessor

Ashley joins the software support and quality assurance team at Nexus. Since graduating in 2005 with a BA in Journalism, Ashley has worked in various computing roles for companies such as John Lewis and Nationwide Building Society. During his studies, he specialised in multi-media studies, including web design, video editing, photography and film, all of which will stand him in good stead within our multi-talented software development team.

David Holmes - Sales & Marketing Executive

David has 6 years experience working in the ICT industry. He has worked as part of a support team providing phone and onsite technical support to clients ranging from small and medium size business to large NHS trusts. He also worked for 2 years in a marketing role for an engineering company as part of a European marketing team.  

David will be drawing on experience from both of his previous roles to fulfil his new position in the sales team at Nexus. He will promote the whole range of Nexus products and services, from network infrastructure and telephony systems to websites and IT training.

Elizabeth White - Graphic Designer & Web Developer

Elizabeth has joined the website design and development team in response to a massive increase in the number of new commissions that Nexus have received for websites. Elizabeth has over 5 years work experience, most recently at BT Global Services in Leeds, where she developed interactive on-line training for the NHS Spine project. She has also worked in the academic sector and run her own business and Nexus are really looking forward to seeing Elizabeth's design flair and expertise contribute to the website team.
