About Di-Graf

Di-Graf Systems was established in 1997 to offer a wide range of services to

assist pressured ICT Managers meet their objectives.

Background

Founder, Alan Eastough, worked within the ICT arena from1984, initially

offering user support from the newly formed Corporate IT support unit in

Birmingham City Council, working through the learning process to become

Head of IT for the Leisure Services Department of Birmingham CC (the largest

Local Authority in the UK) for 11 years before becoming a freelance

consultant.

Prior experience had focused on Management Services and Consultancy

posts in Local Authority following a wide range of Industrial & Production

Engineering responsibilities in the West Midlands. Due to a general increase

in growth and turnover, and to better reflect future direction, vision and

strategy, the company changed status to become Di-Graf ICT Services Ltd in

February 2000, and traded continuously and successfully by offering

independent freelance ICT Project Management Services Consultancy.

Towards the end of 2015 our turnover situation changed again. This was

primarily due to the fact that on most mornings when I woke up at 5:45am to

consider starting another work-day, I decided to just turn over!

Consequently, having wrapped up our obligations and loose ends, we closed

our incorporated company in July 2019 and reverted back to a non VAT

registered Sole Trader status as Di-Graf Services should we ever feel obliged

to offer any management services consultancy commissions to any

interested parties who may enquire........

History

From practical "hands-on" projects to virtual solutions.....Early challenges in

mechanical and production engineering environments, where success with

problem solving was the only way to maintain viability, gave rise to a "can

do", positive outlook in delivering service excellence beyond customer

expectation. The philosophy is simple; work smarter and gain the most from

people by concentrating, utilising and encouraging their better skills, then just

lead from the front, adding value through supportive mentoring, and

consistently deliver the required results to exceptionally high standards.

Future plans.....

We are still mildly enthusiastic about solving problems and finding "a better

way....", and will be pleased to consider opportunities in an attempt to

continue to try and make a real difference.
