Alex Marsh skiingMeet the team

We are proud to stand out for our people-focused approach. To help you put faces to names, we are profiling team members. This edition we speak to Alex Marsh.

Alex has served in the Support Team for 19 months. Previously he worked in the Server and Applications Support Team at Friends Provident. Alex has a degree in Computing and Information systems, and is also a trained baker (!).

As many of the Donor Strategy team, Alex is a keen skier. He also swam at a national level when he was in his teens. He is a real techie at heart, and, according to his father, Alex wrote his first piece of ‘code’ when he was just 4 years old.

Alex has been to Gambia and Senegal twice to work on aid projects. He enjoys problem solving the most and the feeling that he performs a useful, practical function within the company. He likes helping our clients achieve results.
