Ian Londesbrough

Profile - Ian Londesbrough Consultancy Partner

Why did you choose to join TCL?I was ready for a fresh challenge in Testing, I wanted to apply my expertise and practitioner's skills in a more commercially facing role and learn how to run an effective and efficient testing business.
What makes you the right person for your current role at TCL?I am passionate about Testing, as are TCL, and there is a strong match between my values and those of the company. As a result I believe strongly in the TCL services and I am able to evangelise their importance internally and externally to colleagues and customers alike.
To date, what has been the most positive highlight of your time at TCL?There are two key ones; helping to develop the TCL Accreditation Programme and winning new business customers for TCL.
What are you passionate about?At work I am passionate about QA and Testing and how it can add value, save money and deliver benefits in Business Change, Business Transformation and IT Programmes and Projects. I am especially energised by interesting, challenging, varied and rewarding opportunities to solve problems and help customers and colleagues develop and improve their QA and Testing capability. Outside of work I am passionate about my family, dogs, cats, my work life balance, cars, motorbikes, music and gardening.
Outside of your career, what are your aspirations in life?To be a great husband and father, to give back some time and money to the community and charitable work, to be a better drummer and guitarist and grow better vegetables! A materialistic aspiration is to own a Morgan Plus8 in the next five years and an Aston Martin before I retire!
In your opinion, how is TCL different to other companies?Its' people and it's values which are intrinsically linked.
