We’re proud to be powered by a brilliant, diverse team of people who bring expertise, creativity and passion to everything they do. From engineers and analysts to operations and leadership, every colleague plays a part in shaping what we deliver.
Our team Q&A allows us to spotlight the people behind the projects – sharing their stories, insights, and maybe an app they can’t live without!
Next up, it’s our cloud consultant, Geordie Kingsbeer…
- What first drew you to the software/tech industry?
Honestly, the pace. I’ve always been drawn to fast-moving industries where no two days look the same, and tech fits that mould perfectly. I enjoy solving real-world problems and working with exciting companies. Tech gives me those opportunities daily.
2. What does a typical day at IDS Group look like for you?
Most of my day is spent speaking with decision-makers and investors to see if we have a common goal, or going on a discovery call to understand where IDS can add real value to customers. I’m also working behind the scenes to build strong relationships with our strategic partners, discussing strategy and targets, and readying teams to deliver impact together.
- What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone wanting to break into the tech space?
Jump in and give it your all. Tech moves fast, so be ready to work, learn, and adapt just as quickly. If you bring that mindset, you’ll do well and probably enjoy every minute of it
- What’s your favourite memory or proudest moment at IDS Group so far?
Developing a new sales outreach strategy to create an additional entry point into our sales cycle was a real highlight. Taking it from concept to execution and then watching it deliver stronger results week after week was a proud moment. It was a clear reminder that smart, focused execution really does move the needle.
- What do you think makes IDS Group different from other technical partners?
The people. We’re lucky to have top-tier talent with deep expertise. But beyond that, everyone here is genuinely a good human. Working alongside like-minded people who are positive, driven, and deeply invested in the success of the team and our clients creates a great environment. When the culture is this strong, the results tend to follow naturally.
- How would you describe IDS Group in three words?
Innovative. Impactful. Ace.
- What are you most excited about for your role at IDS Group?
Scaling my results to the point where we have no option but to expand our team, and then watching new colleagues thrive in our culture and contribute to our shared success.
- What do you see as the biggest tech trend or opportunity coming in the next 12 months?
The move from general-purpose AI agents to specialised, integrated AI agents that can actually perform high-value tasks like booking meetings, managing pipelines, designing mockups, or analysing deals, without needing constant human supervision.
- What piece of software or tech tool could you not live without – work or personal?
Google Sheets. I’m a big spreadsheet guy. Whether I’m tracking leads, mapping processes, or organising priorities, it’s key to my workflow. I find any excuse (within reason) to structure things in a sheet!
- Finally, when you’re not at work, how do you like to spend your time?
It depends where I’m living. In an ideal (sunny!) world, I’m going for a surf and playing a round of golf, followed by a beer or two in the sun!
