IT expert rewarded with director promotion

Managed IT services provider IDT has promoted one of its longest-serving members of staff to director.

Lawrie Moon – previously head of the technical support team – has been made operations director at the Ilkeston firm.

Moon has worked for IDT since he left college in 2004 and now oversees the company’s entire support team.

Luke Draper, managing director at IDT, said: “Lawrie has a great relationship with his team – they cannot speak highly enough of him.

“He’s absolutely earned it, Lawrie is one of the major cogs in our business and has been crucial in our growth, streamlining our support team. Lawrie is living proof to our new and young staff that hard work and dedication opens the door to succession and progress.”

Draper added: “Like myself and my fellow director James Cartwright, Lawrie embraces and excels at the Human element of our business – and has the technical skills to match. This is rare, he’s the go to for advice and knowledge for his team.”

Moon said: “Since joining IDT back in 2004 I’ve always strived to improve the way our business operates, focusing not only on our internal processes but helping to define and live our company values, that’s what makes us unique. As operations director I look forward to improving the way we work and building our relationships with current and future clients.”
