Our team

Our attendees say

I really get some good value from attending the events. Barney Kent was fantastic as he delivered his session with insights and actions for the audience to take away and consider when in those situations.

Senior Director -Software Engineering & Shared Services

Great event and thankyou for organising it. The location worked well and fitted with the theme.

Vice President Data Engineering and Software

I had a very productive time during the Bolton School Event and would definitely like to attend the next years event as well. I did meet some excellenet practitioners with great thought leadership and deep expertise in their respective fields.

Chief Information Officer

The choice of speakers was also really good. It wasn't a bunch of buzzword spouting people trying to promote their business interests. They were really interesting people, with a range of real world experiences, who were passing on their experience in a relaxed manner.
