With over eighteen years working for Sony, and three years before that with the BBC, Neil Thompson has the depth of knowledge you need to help understand what the latest technology can do for you, and how to get the best from it.




Training days can be arranged to suit your requirements individually, or as a small group, at whatever location is convenient.
