At work

Will joined the Berry & Oak team in January 2024 as Technology  Manager. A key focus of Wills role is to oversee all IT services and systems, ensuring optimal usage and compliance with GDPR, while managing new technology and AI implementation.

At home

Will moved to Leeds 7 years ago from Cambridgeshire. He is a keen walker, but prefers doing so with his Border Collie Hobson, who lives with his Dad down South.

He enjoys relaxing with a good book, a Movie thriller or an intriguing TV whodunit. Will enjoys meeting friends at the weekend, or visiting English Heritage sites.

In the spotlight

What do you like about working at Berry & Oak?

Working alongside my colleagues is always fun and interesting. I’m learning lots about the struggles of being a Leeds United fan, although as a Luton Town fan, I know this pain all too well.

What does the day in the life of a Technology Manager look like?

The old cliché, “everyday is different” really does apply to my role. I have set tasks I tick off first thing in the morning, but after that it’s whatever is needed by the clients or my colleagues.

What are your top three life highlights so far?

  • Riding my motorbike at Silverstone with MotoGP riders, Cal Crutchlow and Bradley Smith
  • Visiting New Zealand, both North and South Islands.
  • Helping raise money for “Get Well Gamers”. A charity who place video games and consoles in children’s wards in UK hospitals for children to play whilst they undergo treatments.

What is an ability you wish you had?

Teleportation. The world is a vast place and being able to instantly travel from one destination to another would allow more opportunities to experience new cultures.

What’s currently top of your bucket list?

A trip to my Grandad’s homeland of Canada, followed by an Alaskan Cruise.

Which song gets you on the dancefloor?

Blame it on the Boogie – Jackson 5

What’s the one talent you have, that people would be surprised to know about you?

I’m ranked inside the top 1% of a game that over 28 million people play.
