Donald Howard - Engineer

Donald has been with the team full time since March 2023.  He relocated to Cornwall after living and working in London for 20 years in IT, specialising in web development. He has become  a great asset to the team and you’ll see him driving around in our branded silver van.

In his spare time likes o play old vinyl records from the 80’s and 90’s. Having an almost classic car it takes up his time as there’s always something that needs fixing. If there’s a karaoke happening he’ll gladly grab the microphone and belt out songs that only those in his age group would remember.
