His natural flare for IT is a welcome bonus for Zeida Lane Associates and he is responsible for all things computers and numbers.
From quite early on I got hooked and stayed on as the department evolved, finaly working with the Learning Disability Commissioners.
On leaving the local authority I teamed up with Helen and Angela and I am very proud to have been of setting set up this exciting Social Enterprise. It is incredibly rewarding working with individuals and professionals in the learning disability community and gives me great job satisfaction knowing that our work is making a difference to peoples' lives."
