The judging panel noted Kieran was a very worthy winner, having completed his Master’s Degree (MSc) in Software Development (Conversion Course) at Queen’s University with Distinction and also having completed his Cert CII and as he has demonstrated the use of his MSc to not only improve his knowledge and his own team’s ways of working, but to improve how his team works with the broader business. They found him to have an enthusiastic outlook, always looking for solutions and ways to help his colleagues and improve processes, making him a role model across the Group.
Congratulations once again to Kieran on this fantastic achievement and well done to our Academy Graduates and the shortlisted applicants for the Richard Livingston Award.
