Skills and Experience
Programming
John started in manufacturing as a graduate management trainee. His work included sales, stock control and finance. He was in general management in small companies in light engineering for 16 years before joining Suddensource. His IT and programming skills are in the main self-taught. Since working with Suddensource he has re-programmed the Proactis 2 product from scratch and added a large number of new functions to it. His business experience allows him to get to the point of client requirements quickly and implement them on the first attempt.
Over the years Suddensource has employed other programmers and consultants, chosen for their knowledge of the system or language required.
