Hi my name is David Logan. Born in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire then moved to home in Scotland shortly afterwards.
Its good to be half Scottish half English. The Scottish referendum … ? Forget it. Not interested.
I am currently ramping up my presence on social media twitter, facebook and instagram via @DavidLogan2020. Bare with me until I get up to speed with word-press – we all have to start somewhere!!
So how did I arrive at Social Media Consultancy when I was born and raised in a farming family?
Throughout my school years I can always remember helping out on the dairy farm, feeding calves,
rolling the grass field,
cutting the garden grass . .and so on ..
When I left school at the age of 16, I was given a chance to try my hands at another industry other than farming. I decided to enter engineering as I loved creating technical drawings.
Started training in a Youth Training Scheme (YTS) to learn basics in computers – so even at the ripe age of 16 I was interested in computers. Opportunities appeared as in YTS trainee or apprentice-ship with local businesses. YTS schemes were short-term, with no guarantee of job security. The apprenticeship was over 4 years including training on the job. Throughout the 4 years I gained HNC in Mechanical Engineering at Carlisle, then progressed to achieve Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering at Northumbria University, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Towards the end of this spell I progressed from design draughtsman to part-time CAD administrator on UNIX which gave me the sparkle to enter into support and training.
Next stop was to work for a small national company offering the training and support of the CAD system named as CATIA. 3D modelling on Microsoft Windows and UNIX.
After a short spell at this business I gained experience in public speaking and training. Gained confidence in this field. Prior to joining it was clear I had to enjoy driving – which I do and still do.
On the driving note, the drink-drive limit is getting tighter nowadays and the introduction of the smart-phone has introduced ban on using phones whilst driving. So if you ever see me using phone whilst driving please stop me.
Through the 2 jobs I have gained experience on various levels.
After a 3-4 year stunt in the CAD consultancy business including failure at introducing a new system into the UK market-place I decided to kick-start my own business. Coming from a farming background I am not sared to doing the hours.
Here was born LOGAN-it, my IT consultancy business.
Next objective is to monetize social media and apply to customers to increase turn-over and continue using my services.
