EXPANDING
SOFTWARE
DEVELOPMENT
TEAM
Business Micros has appointed a further computing
graduate to join its software development team.
Kyle Nicholson, aged 22, has joined
the company as a software developer
and will be working within a dedicated six strong team led by Technical
Director Jim Cronie and managed by
Vince Kelly.
Kyle’s brief is to work exclusively on
Business Micros’ next generation software
solutions. An IT graduate from the University
of the West of Scotland, Kyle brings with him
the most up to date programming skills and
fresh ideas and enthusiasm.
Graeme Bailey, Managing Director at Business Micros, said: “Our software development
team works exclusively on new products and
is quite separate from our programming team,
which is responsible for maintaining and updating our existing software systems.
“As we endeavour to expand our product
offerings, we are adding additional resource
to ensure that our new product is delivered
on time and gives the very best user experience possible.”
Finalist for 4 Construction

four Construction Marketing Awards. Since
2004 MRA has won

“It’s an honour to be shortlisted again,” comments
Lucia, “particularly in one of
the most positive years the
construction industry has
had since 2008. With the
UK finally stepping out of
recession we’re seeing more
firms doing more marketing, so we’ve had to work
harder to win share of voice
for our campaigns, and
share of the markets for our
customers!”
