Meet the Team
Here is the list of our team.
Bruce Ure
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.
Bruce is the resident Apple expert at BDI and is rarely far from one of his (possibly too many) Macs, or his iPhone/iPad (With iOS 5 as soon as he can gets his mitts on it). When not marvelling at new technologies he is a keen photographer, loves running and is entering his fifth London Marathon this coming April.
Oh and he loves cats
Dave Bamford
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.
Dave then founded his own company developing programs to test military hardware for companies such as BAE and Thales. He then merged with Logical Progress where he provided consultancy and training for many large European Electronic Corporations. In the 1990s Logical Progress diversified into the IT support and Supply market and Dave successfully divested this for further growth as a core business in its own right, which has now become part of BDI.
Dave's animal of choice is a dog, and he likes a pub quiz (strangely so do we if we are on the same team).
The Others
Behind the scenes at BDI is a team of unsung heroes: there are our office administrators, accountants and book keepers, and a veritable fleet of technical colleagues and business partners whom we call upon to advise with some of the more challenging or specialised technical aspects of what we do: we're not afraid to ask for help if we don't know something. This refreshing philosophy along with our commitment to using all the resources available to us is what allows BDI to deliver top quality solutions time after time.If you like our approach and think you might like to do business, get in touch now!
