Mr Le Noury has 10 years’ experience in the technology sector and is the most highly qualified business analyst in the Channel Islands, having completed all the requirements for the British Computer Society’s Advanced Diploma in Business Analysis.

He will oversee the largest independent team of business analysts based in the islands – one of C5 Alliance’s key strengths - working alongside project managers and tasked with identifying the right technical solutions to meet business clients’ requirements.

Mr Solway, who joined the business in 2016, is now a Senior Consultant, and the technical lead for C5 Alliance’s Professional Services Team. His role has been created strategically to focus on the professional development of technical team members and help determine the right resources for projects.

He is a vastly experienced developer who has undertaken work for many large clients including the creation of Data Warehousing Solutions, large scale data migrations and the development of custom-build client management systems. He specialises in application and database development and thrives in problem-solving situations.

C5 Alliance Guernsey managing director Marc Laine said: “C5 Alliance is a centre of excellence for technology solutions and that is entirely down to the high calibre of people we employ. Simon, Jon and Phil will add an enormous amount of value to the business in their respective roles as the development of employees at all levels remains a top priority.”
