Paul served in the British Army for over twenty-two years at various locations such as Germany, Northern Ireland and Belize. He began his career in IT as a programmer writing ad-hoc programs for his units in the Army and progressing to become the logical designer for the largest Army IT project at the time, UNICOM. He spent time travelling the world with Fujitsu as a Mobile billing and provisioning consultant, which gave him exposure to many different technologies that he introduced in the company. His core strengths, however, are in working with the teams in analysis, design and re-engineering of complex software applications, networks, and security systems. Over the years Paul’s leadership has grown ABS into the successful business, it is today. He has always maintained his focus on providing the best possible service and experience for our customers, but also dedicates time to growing our staff members’ skills and teamwork. He leads training weekends to teach survival skills and to motivate the team to complete fun physical activities. The most impressive of these to-date has been the organisation and completion of a hiking trip through the jungle in Borneo, which certainly taught us how to work together and achieve things that we would not normally have tackled! Paul’s idea of relaxation is a nice bottle of wine and a comedy film, although, we’re not sure if ‘Big Bang Theory’ can be classed as a ‘film’!

Kiran holds a Master’s Degree in Information Systems Management from Southampton University. She plays an essential role in the running of the business by looking after HR, accounts, and general administration. In addition, Kiran serves as ISM (In-Service Management) Manager making sure that all support tasks are running smoothly. She liaises with clients to understand, and to help orchestrate resolutions for any issues that occur within the systems that ABS provide or support. Kiran has also been managing the pay for the Combined Cadet Force (CCF) across the UK for many years. She is well known for being compassionate and diligent in resolving issues raised by hundreds of CCF staff. Whenever she gets the chance, she loves to travel and to experience different cultures, and of course to photograph these adventures from beginning to the bitter end! One such adventure included our incredible staff training trip spent hiking through the jungle in Borneo – you can find Kiran’s pictures under ‘Our Blog’ on the website. Just to be clear, only the good ones are taken by Kiran, others are obviously not her work!

Kannan has been with ABS since 2000, he is a core member of the team alongside Paul, Kiran. Although he is an Oracle database programmer by trade, he is ‘multilingual’ in terms of the number of different programming languages he must deal with. He is passionate about programming, whether written by a professional or a novice; we have heard silent rumours that “if it is software, he’ll understand it”. He is the head of software development in ABS and manages one of the largest team within the company spread across two countries. Kannan is a passionate family man and yet alongside his work and parental commitments, somehow, he still finds time to enjoy playing cricket every week and taking part in group cycling challenges! It’s true that this profile might make him sound like a ‘He-Man’ but … he still can’t eat tomatoes!!
