Organised by the Isle of Man Branch of the CMI, the Challenge offers the opportunity to demonstrate senior management potential by working in a team, under the guidance of a business mentor, to address an issue which is topical, relevant and of strategic importance to the Isle of Man. It offers the very best combination of real, hands on experience together with support from experienced professionals.

Computer drop-in centre for disabled set up

May 28th, 2009

Isle of Man BCS members have created a computer drop-in centre primarily for people with disabilities at the Leonard Cheshire Disability Centre in Onchan on the Isle of Man. Leonard Cheshire Disability Centre is now able to offer disabled and older people in their community the access to IT facilities many people take for granted.

BCS Members worked with Keith Fitton, Service Manager of Leonard Cheshire, to ensure that the critical items were secured for the drop-in centre. BCS Members Nick Smith from Phoenix IT, John Cannell from RBS, Tracy Kinrade from Central Software and Peter Jackson from Open Systems Management worked together to plan, source and install all the IT requirements needed for four disabled users at the centre.

The centre was opened by the island’s Department of Health and Social Security Chief Executive David Killip, who said: ‘It’s clearly going to be a wonderful facility.’
