PDMS expands its growing operation in Scotland

PDMS has already celebrated two significant milestones in 2023; we had our 30^th anniversary and hit our recruitment target by significantly growing our team based in Scotland.  

Charlotte Cain, Head of People and Culture, said:

It has been great to welcome our new recruits into our Scottish workforce. They are already adding value to our clients, which is helping us to grow our client base and increase our impact on projects in Scotland and further afield.

Claire Welsh joined PDMS as a Business Analyst, Sander MacConnacher as an Infrastructure Engineer, Fraser McClure was appointed Bid Manager, Ian McNeish joined as a Solution Architect, Arcelio Goncalves as a Lead Developer and Tersia Christoforos as a UX Designer.

Claire’s role as a Business Analyst focuses on agile working, business change and continual improvement. She has a wealth of experience in the public sector having worked in the police, defence and energy sectors. Claire is currently working on client and internal projects with a focus on the Discovery process – working with multiple stakeholders to understand user requirements and clarify project goals.

He joins our Infrastructure team to ensure that we continue to provide secure and high availability hosting and business continuity services for our customers and our wider business.

Fraser joined PDMS in a newly created role as a Bid Manager, working closely with the Business Development team.  With a strong track record in the public sector in Scotland, the UK and in overseas jurisdictions, the team at PDMS are frequently working on pulling together high quality bids and proposals.  Fraser has over 10 years’ experience working in bid management and now oversees the submission of all PDMS proposals and tenders.  

Our newest recruit is Ian McNeish, an experienced Developer who joins us as a Solution Architect. In his role, he is responsible for collaborating with our analysts, designers and project managers, drawing on his extensive knowledge to lead on system architecture, design and development.
