Colin has been with Blue Sky for almost 6 years now and very quickly became indispensible with his wide-ranging technical expertise. His first role was that of Infrastructure Services Engineer but he very quickly rose up the ranks and now manages our infrastructure and security.

Luke Sugrue
Infrastructure Services Engineer
Luke is our newest and youngest member of the team. He recently completed his Microsoft Apprenticeship after joining Blue Sky on a 3 months’ work experience placement and we were very pleased to then be able to offer him a full time position with the company. Luke is responsible for first line support and will normally be the first voice you hear when you call our support line. He’s still learning the ropes but has already proven invaluable in managing our anti-virus installs.
