OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM

Lifeline IT was founded by current owners Daniel Mitchell and Adam Woolf. Together they have over 20 years’ experience implementing IT systems. Both remain hands-on and lead a skilled and tenacious team of staff.

Crucial to the delivery of our premium service is the Lifeline IT team of managers, engineers and other support staff. All Lifeline IT engineers are highly qualified and extremely knowledgeable about IT. Training is key, both formal and informal. We also have a system whereby information is actively shared among the engineers.

Due to the importance we place on face-to-face contact with clients, we value communication skills highly, not just IT expertise. When recruiting, we look for individuals with strong interpersonal skills, especially those in technical roles. They must be able to talk to customers clearly, without using IT jargon.
