You might hear another new name in the coming months. Bob Marren has been attached to the Computing team as Business Development Manager (BDM). Many of you will know Bob from his days as External Moderator (aka Moderator) for Computing. He also taught at Falkirk College for many years.

I met with Bob this morning to discuss his new role. The BDM role is pretty varied but, as Bob put it, “I’m here to help”. More specifically, he’s here to develop relationships with SQA’s customers, help to resolve problems, and promote SQA’s awards within the UK and internationally. Pity he can’t also check unit specifications and proof-read assessment exemplars. 🙂
