Nik joined Ethos at the end of 2000 as our IT Consultant. Nik has a passion for ensuring that companies such as Ethos have the ability to operate very sophisticated networked systems similar to a large organisation but within small company budgets! Nik is responsible for ensuring that wherever possible we are at the cutting edge of new technologies in all that we strive to do. He has set up a networked computer system which extends to home office setups reflecting the office environment as well as overseas remote set ups to enable email access.
Our IT environment is predominantly open-source software which ensures minimal down time, minimal viruses and minimal expenditure. This has been a crucial part of ensuring the smooth running of Ethos.
