Bruce's early career was in the audio electronics industry where he worked for a local radio station, then an esoteric hi-fi manufacturer. After that he managed the technical support department at a computer company in Canterbury, then moved to London to work for various City firms as a high-end support engineer. He was a developer and support manager for CIX (where he met Ian), one of the UK's first internet companies. He then worked as a VB and Remedy programmer until November 2008 when, in need of a fresh challenge, he started home computer repair business ComputerFIX Ltd. Having successfully established ComputerFIX, he is now applying his unusually broad experience and wide range of skills to BDI Systems.
After studying Electrical Engineering at Imperial College in London Dave started work at Plessey Radar where he designed automated test equipment for electronic circuit boards. Dave then moved to work at Teradyne, a Boston based Automatic Test Equipment manufacturer, where he helped create the test routines for the fist IBM PCs. He continued in this area creating programs to test Intel processors and other complex devices.
