Some of Spencer’s experience:
The project scope required Spencer to work closely with senior managers and directors within the business and external contractors. The company’s E-trading project has been a major success and now represents a major element of the company’s sales base. Spencer played a significant part in both the timely implementation and success of the project.
Beyond work, Spencer enjoys an action-filled lifestyle – skiing, golf, cycling, travel and generally exploring the great outdoors. He is also a dab hand at restoring antique furniture.
