Rik Pipe M IDM
Since the 1990's Rik has worked in digital agencies delivering digital solutions to private and public sector clients. Some went really well, some less well. Rik learned a lot from both. More recently Rik has been retained by clients in Marketing, Higher Education and industry to help them with procurement and implementation of various digital projects. These have all gone very well.
