Our Service Managers are responsible for developing a long-term partnership with our customers by providing high-quality advice and support whilst coming up with creative solutions to challenges and helping organisations to address their business needs and objectives more efficiently. The service managers are the face of our services business and are often seen as an extended part of the customer team, through their proximity and solid understanding of the customer's business and its people.
