Jesse has been a part of FluidOne since December 2023, first joining the group as Interim Branch Manager of FluidOne Camberley. In addition to his branch management duties, he has served as Group Managing Director – IT Services since April 2025, managing the group’s IT pillar across multiple branches nationwide. In this capacity, Jesse leads the integration of five acquired IT business units into one, driving strategic sales growth for both SMB and Enterprise customers.

With over three decades in the IT and technology sectors, many of them spent as a Managing Director or Sales Director, Jesse has acquired extensive experience in leadership, strategic planning, and overseeing organisational growth.

In his spare time Jesse is an experienced weekend bag carrier during family shopping outings. A long-time supporter of the RYA, he also loves the sea and boating.

In my role as Technical Director, I feel fortunate to have found a position that not only helps me channel my own passion and love for technology, but affords me the opportunity to work with a fantastic and highly-skilled team.

Having joined Highlander over 16 years ago as a Workshop Technician, I’m proud to have played a part in growing the business. Everything from developments within the technical department, to the expansion of a broad technology portfolio that is at the heart of everything we deliver for our customers today.

My enthusiasm for IT and technology remains as strong as ever, and one of the most exciting parts of my role is helping the business identify and onboard the latest innovations.

Away from work, I enjoy spending as much time as possible with my young family, and when I can find the time, I’m also a keen mountain biker, although admittedly I have all the gear and no idea.

In my role as Operations Director, I oversee our operations team. We’re responsible for orchestrating service delivery through our technical teams and providing our engineers with a platform to work to the best of their abilities.

I also have responsibility for achieving both ISO 9001 & 14001 quality and environmental standards something which aligns strongly with my own key value of continuous improvement, a desire that is shared across both our department and the wider business.

After completing a Business & Management degree at Sheffield Hallam, my first role was at Dunlop Slazenger co-ordinating the distribution of branded golf equipment to professionals and major events. A subsequent move to a small IT reseller gave me the opportunity to move on to Highlander. Having started in a commercial capacity, I moved into the technical team as Operations Manager, before stepping into my current role.

A frequent 5 am riser for gym sessions each day before work, I see myself as an active person. I’m a big animal lover and love to give back to various charities where I can. I’m also an avid reader and love spending time outdoors. Being lucky enough to live in a semi-rural area, I take any opportunity to get out into the fresh air, so don’t be surprised to see me when you’re out and about enjoying the countryside.
