Mark moved from technical sales into recruitment in the mid 1980s, and managed staffing programs for major ICT expansion projects in leading edge companies such as Nokia and Pipex. Two decades later, Mark is again spear-heading business development activities as PCR's Sales Director, and remains committed to ensuring that PCR has the people, ethics, systems and processes in place to make us the provider of choice for the broadcast and technology sectors.

With a focus on growing the business significantly, whilst maintaining the level of excellence and personalised customer experience which customers expect from PCR, Judith is well placed to help the company succeed, having learnt many lessons from the explosive growth experienced in the ISP sector during the boom years of the 1990's. Since joining PCR Judith has overseen a complete re-branding exercise for the company, and a move to new, purpose built office premises on the outskirts of Cambridge.

She has recently joined the newly established Web team as a Consultant providing services to clients in the broadcast and new media arenas. As the most senior member of team she can offer her bright, new team mates a wealth of recruitment knowledge and expertise – in return they are making sure she at least looks the part in her new role by getting her to use Facebook, Skype and MSN at work!
