Our People
Capable. Helpful. Human.
Bob Marshall
In decades of experience within technical businesses, I’ve come to understand that technical skills pale into insignificance beside our ability to nurture productive collaborative relationships. If you’re in an organisation that wants to improve things for the better, you may find my services to you of profound benefit.
Throughout my career I’ve inspired people to realise more of their potential. I spent three years as founder and CEO of Familiar, Europe’s UK’s first 100% Agile software house and digital consultancy, serving major Digital Business clients in Telecoms, Finance, Banking, Travel, Media, and eBusiness.
