Meet the Team

Chris set up TechQuarters from his second bedroom in Wimbledon, 12 years ago. He’s been a marketing manager, IT engineer and business developer in the world of IT. He grew another Managed Service Provider from 0 to 500 SME customers, requiring IT support services. Chris saw the opportunity with the Cloud in 2008, so he created TQ. He now leads the business and sales teams. He is an avid fitness fanatic, having done 30+ triathlons and an Ironman in Barcelona for his 50th birthday present! In between that intensity, he loves to chill, with a spot of golf.

Mark joined TQ six years ago. He worked with Chris for 13 years in their last Managed Service provider. Mark is in charge of all things technical and operations at TQ. He too, like Chris, is an avid fitness fanatic but takes it one step further, as he has completed a number of Ironman events, and actually winning one last year. His forte is hill climbing and towing Chris up the mountains. He’s a big family man, and in the last 2 years has added a team of Chickens with a coop, in his back garden that provides tasty free range eggs for breakfast.

Phil joined TechQuarters 6+ years ago and has risen to Head of Business Development. He runs all the new biz teams and is focussed on bringing new large customers to TQ. He’s always been in sales and has worked in fast paced environments but brings a real consultative edge to our sales team at TQ. Along with a few select others here, he is a qualified Sandler Sales Consultant and helps to implement that methodology across the whole business. When he downs tools, he dons his trainers and runs a marathon or two.

James joined TechQuarters 8+ years ago and is our Head of Account Management. He looks after the entire customer base with his team and focusses his own efforts on our larger customers. His previous technical experience has helped customers see him as their surrogate CTO. He plays in goal for his lacrosse team, which won the National Championship a few years ago. He enjoys getting his steps in with Chris on the golf course and walking Ren, his black Labrador around Balham Common.

Michael joined TQ as our Support Manager many years ago, when we had just two teams. He now heads up Support and looks after a global Helpdesk team. His previous skills were running internal IT teams within larger corporates, mixed with SME services, so he was the perfect fit for TQ. A few years ago Michael was actually a successful semi-professional footballer but gave that up for technology fame and is now a big family man.

Taariq joined the business as our Digital Marketing Manager a few years ago. He has a background within the digital promotion sector, where he has worked for the last 15 years+ helping organisation achieve superior search engine rankings and delivering incoming demand for services via various digital channels. He loves swimming in his local Olympic pool, challenging himself to network with fun people all the time and is a real family man.
