In September 2024, the team at the East Midlands Cyber Resilience Centre expanded further with the arrival of Andy Maddison, who joins us as a Business Engagement Manager.

Andy joined the EMCRC after working in the private IT sector for the last 25+ years. Starting as an engineer, then moving to technical account management, he has a solid background in many aspects of IT for businesses of all sizes and has been technically qualified for a number of key software and hardware providers.

This background knowledge gives Andy a great base of understanding on how a business can use its IT, what risks there are and how to better protect your systems and data both physically and virtually. He is also ILM 3 qualified in Management and Leadership.

Outside of work, Andy is the Chairman of a homeless charity in Grantham and has been involved with them for the last 14 years. When not working for the charity, he is a keen walker and mountain biker as well as enjoying time at the gym, reading and gaming.
