Joanne Kuzma

Head of Computing

Nick would be an asset to any organisation, and is an absolute pleasure to work with. His enthusiasm and positive outlook is infectious - there is nothing you can ask of Nick that ever fazes him. His customer facing skills are excellent both in the written word and face-to-face in presentations or training situations. He can always find a way of explaining complex technical solutions in an easily digestible format for the non-technically minded and has received positive endorsements from many of Clearview's external clients. He has an innovative approach to his work, and is always looking for ways to improve processes and solutions. I can only describe him as "a breath of fresh air" and wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to others!
