Have designed and delivered technological solutions to a variety of industry sectors for almost thirty years.

My most recent venture has been a web-based service (www.mAnagr.com) focused on the needs of managers of grassroots football (soccer) teams.  It enables them to administer squads and facilitates communication with players and officials via email or SMS, allowing matches to be arranged, planned and reported more easily.  Season’s statistics are then compiled, and end of season memorabilia offered by the company. 

The service is offered free of charge; revenue is generated via advertising and an on-line shop selling items team managers typically require (e.g. football kit, teamwear, own-branded footballs, training equipment and end-of-season trophies). 

Since the service’s launch in September 2006, formal support has been obtained from six County FAs and from the PFA and has attracted user registrations from each of the continents. 

The following might give some idea as to our ethos:

Let Children Play
They stand on the field with their hearts beating fast
The whistle has blown, the die has been cast.
Mum & Dad cannot help, they stand all alone
A goal at this moment would send the team home.
A ball near their feet, they kick and it misses
There's a moan from the crowd,
some boos and some hisses
A thoughtless voice cries 'take off the bum'
Tears fill their eyes, it's no longer fun.
If you have ever been tempted to shout or to groan
Just think, it's a child who stands all alone
So open your heart and give them a break
It's moments like this that players you make.
Keep this in mind, please do not forget
They are only children, they're not adults yet!
