Link ICT has expanded its team further following the appointment of Daniel Woodward as an IT Technician. This will be the company’s sixth new addition in just under a year, increasing the total number of employees to 17 people.
In his new role, Daniel, who lives in Chesterfield, will be providing on-site IT support to Link ICT’s growing client base of schools, academy groups, and businesses based across the East Midlands region.
Daniel previously worked for Currys Plc where he started as an instore IT support technician helping customers define their needs, setting up laptops and giving customers one-to-one tutorials on their new devices.
He later transferred to the regional hub in Newark and became a regional repair technician where he worked as part of a team repairing IT equipment and recycling components from many different devices including laptops, desktop towers, all-in-one PCs, and televisions.
Prior to this he was the IT Systems Administrator for a small chain of local hotels, where he helped to design networks, implement solutions for complex issues, and train staff how to use the equipment. His role also included a project to install in-room wifi access.
Commenting on his new role, Daniel said: “I have loved working IT ever since I did my work experience years ago when I visited local schools and helped the local IT technician with similar tasks to the role I will be doing at Link ICT. This was a wonderful experience, and I have never once regretted my career choice.
“Obviously, there are now huge technological differences, such as working with Cloud Servers and Mobile Device Management systems, but I am sure I will thoroughly enjoy the role, and I look forward to helping clients and adding to my skills and experience.”
In his spare time Daniel has a huge number of interests, from quizzing to creating websites, digital design, mobile application development and desktop application development. He also has a keen interest in motorcycles and helicopters.
Link ICT was founded in 2004 and recently re-located to new offices in Pride Park, Derby.
