Laurence Hepburn, Sales Manager at Mimtech
A self motivated, hard working and personable business development manager with a range of skills in taking digital products and services to a wide range of different markets.
If you enjoy what you're doing it's like child's play. And we've been enjoying ourselves at Mimtech long before we started the company in 2005.
Some of us remember getting excited by successfully programming a stick man to bounce a ball on the screen of a Commodore PET. That was in 1978 by the way and the sheer joy of being able to represent the output from a piece of computer code visually in a fun and engaging way for the first time will never be forgotten.
Others at Mimtech weren't even born then but moving back to the here and now we all share at least a couple things in common.
A childlike sense of discovery and the need to be constantly learning, adapting and evolving our knowledge and skills to the ever changing demands of the online world.
It's what motivates us and is firmly at the core of everything we do.
