Angela has spent most of her career within business operations roles, to include Sales, purchasing through to Finance; giving her a good understanding of back-office operations.  This puts her in a great position to support the smooth running of the business.

Malcolm has been in field sales for over 25 years and loves nothing more than walking round industrial estates knocking on doors and talking to people about how he can help their business.

Despite a lot of rejection he never lets that get to him and it becomes all worthwhile when he’s invited in for a chat over a cup of coffee (and hopefully a biscuit!), and gradually builds the rapport to get a deal. He’s worked in several industries over the years including telecoms, waste disposal, aluminium extrusion and has been helping businesses with their security solutions for the past two years.

Malcolm lives in Bromsgrove with his wife, Christine, and has three children of his own, two step-children and seven grandchildren. In his spare time he likes writing stories and poetry (check out Amazon and YouTube), painting (pictures not decorating), acting, and sport (just watching these days).  His claims to fame are that, playing football in goal, he once saved a penalty taken by Kevin Keegan, and he sang (badly!) on prime-time television.

Karen became a member of the Ecl-ips team in January 2019. She previously had a similar marketing role with a community museum; wrote blogs, news reports and edited publications for corporate governance and proxy voting agency, Manifest, now part of Minerva Analytics and had communications roles within the NHS. With a background originally in business journalism she has transferred her skills to public relations and marketing and uses her writing skills for the online and social media world. She is aiming to boost the clicks onto the Ecl-ips website and to encourage more people to contact us to find out what we can do for their business.

In her spare time Karen leads the fundraising for her children’s school, enjoys yoga, going for country walks and reading as well as spending time with family.
