I have been CEO of ROCC since 2000. Having worked in various roles previously I took over from my father who was retiring after 25 years running the business. Since then ROCC has changed considerably and evolved to be a successful niche provider of software and solutions throughout the UK and Europe. ROCC’s clients include Housing organisations, NHS Trusts, Central and Local Government and companies in the Private sector. ROCC is headquartered in Brighton but has additional offices in Surrey and Manchester.

I am also a member of the Brighton Business Board of the NSPCC, a Fellow of The Institute of Direct Marketing, A Member of the British Computer Society, a member of Brighton’s HUB100 business community and have various graduate and postgraduate qualifications.

As a father of 2 young children most of my spare time is spent running around after them. I am however a FA qualified football coach for my sons side which is where I guess we developed the interest in helping with the Albion in The Community projects. I long since discovered being involved with these activities beats standing frozen and helpless on the sidelines! I am a firm believer in the positive powers that sport at all levels can bring to youngsters throughout the community and am delighted to be associated with the CUP FINAL project.
