THE SOFTWARE SUPPORT TEAM
Dan Blair
First Line Support Desk Manager
Dan has been part of the Teleos Team since 2008. He's always had a keen interest in IT. After leaving secondary school he attended a specialist IT college and joined Teleos after graduation. Dan was promoted to First Line Support Desk Manager in November 2016.
Outside of work his hobbies include keeping fit by going to the gym and trying new sports. However, he and his partner are far more interested in eating good food than keeping fit, so he doesn't go as often as he'd like! Like most computer nerds he enjoys gaming a lot and can spend hours after work and on the weekend getting lost in a quest or two.
Dan has two pets, including an overly friendly dog and angry parrot to keep him busy.
