i-UG Conference North 2025

I am the Founder of Redbourn Business Systems, a company acquired by Fresche Solutions in 2024, making us the world's largest IBM i dedicated team, outside of IBM.

In my new role as Practice Director of Fresche Europe, I will continue to build on the success of Redbourn Business Systems, combining the comprehensive IBM i tool set available from Fresche Solutions with the resources available from our highly skilled team.

I started my career as an RPG programmer in 1984, then became an early adopter of the CA:2E/Synon CASE tool in the late eighties, project managed multi million pound projects and subsequently formed Redbourn Business Systems in 94. I am an expert in project management, systems analysis, database design, technical architecture and the software development cycle. I uniquely combine both technical and business skills. I'm an IBM Champion since 2022, a regular speaker at IBMi events, former chair of the CA:2E/Synon User Group, Treasurer of Common Europe and Marketing Director of the i-UG; the UK's largest IBMi User Group.
