Williams recently graduated from Portsmouth University with a degree in Computer Networks and is now a part of SA1 Solutions’ second line support team. His role will involve supporting the company’s customers with day-to-day technical issues, while working alongside SA1 Solutions’ server team to enable him to develop his expertise in this area.

Simon Ahearne, manging director at SA1 Solutions, said:

“We’re very pleased to have Liam and Matthew amongst our growing team. They both come with a wide range of experience in many areas of IT and we are eager to use their skills and knowledge to further diversify our offering.

“We are very proud of the efforts we put in to welcoming fresh talent at the company. It is important to us that junior team members are offered many opportunities to develop so that they can embrace a solid career path. Our on-board training will help Liam and Matthew to build upon their skills base and having quickly become valued members of the team, I have no doubt they will be successful.”
