Meet The Team – Craig Bird

11 September 2020

People are a large part of what we do here at Road Traffic Solutions. Through 2020 we wanted to take the time to introduce some of them to you in, what has become, a regular Meet The Team series.

Introducing: Craig Bird

Nickname: The Doctor

Position within Road Traffic Solutions: Head of IT Support

Length of time with Road Traffic Solutions: 4 years

 

What do you do on a day-to-day basis within your job?

Resolving IT issues for Users with respect to office staff computers and TMO’s phone devices on the road, plus some IT development to keep RTS agile in the Traffic Management sector.

What do you like about working at Road Traffic Solutions?

The biggest honour is working day to day with a great bunch of colleagues. My biggest reward is to see the workplace running efficiently and employees performing their daily tasks.

What are the values that drive you?

What drives me is the happy faces of users when their IT issues are resolved.

How has your time at RTS been impacted by Coronavirus and the lockdown?

Initially it was very hectic connecting every homeworker to the office via VPN, but within my position it is near enough identical to working in the office and I find it invariable.

What is your favourite quote?

“I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.” – Thomas Jefferson.

What is your favourite song, film or book and why?

Favourite movie is “The Italian Job.” Just a good old quintessential British Romp.

What do you enjoy doing when you are not at work?

Out of work I am a keen cyclist, plus during the Covid-19 lockdown I have returned to playing the guitar.

Give a fact about yourself nobody else knows:

My wife, Ann, is a front-line specialist Nurse at Scunthorpe ICU. Scott, my son, is a Ph.D. Doctor of Physics and is the Technical Development Manager at Tesco. Also my daughter, Victoria, after gaining a first degree in Graphic Design at Leeds University, now works for Harrods in London as their Graphics Editor.
