IT Manager, Wigtown District Council

November 1992 - August 1993


In November of 1992 I was appointed IT Manager for Wigtown District Council, reporting to the Director of Finance and responsible for three staff. During the short period I was with the Council, I feel that I served it well, greatly improving the robustness of its UNIX V.4 based network, and successfully introducing significant new applications including payroll. However, I have found myself unable to reach agreement with senior management with regard to the appropriate level of resource for the IT Unit, and in August 1993 took up a job offered by Care in Action NSF (Scotland).
