Hopefully this doesn't violate any sort of forum rules...

Hey guys. Live in the UK, use Macs, and have some sort of IT experience?

The company I work for (LEWIS PR) is trying to recruit an IT executive for our London office. We're a Mac-only company, which has so far been the limiting factor in finding someone to fill the position. The position would basically involve supporting about 50 local Mac users and sharing support duties for another 150 or so internationally. Experience with Microsoft Office is a definitely plus, as is any experience working with Exchange email servers.

PM me for more details.

And hey, if you happen to do video editing and could take some of that load off my shoulders as well, that would be great.

PM sent. A friend of mine with exactly the experience you're looking for is looking for a new job. We used to work together at an ad agency, 100% Mac, 120 people to support.
