Hello! My name is Laurence Marshall

An Evangelical Christian IT leader with expertise in the Power Platform and IT consulting for small businesses, I am also a podcast host and an FA-qualified football coach. I am passionate about leveraging technology and faith to mentor and inspire others, both in the tech industry and on the field. My work focuses on bridging digital innovation with community impact through faith-driven leadership, fostering growth and collaboration in all areas of life. With a commitment to excellence, I strive to empower individuals and organizations to achieve their goals while staying true to their values.

A little bit of my story

I began my career in the retail sector, initially taking on various roles that allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the industry. Over time, I advanced toward retail management, gaining valuable experience in customer service, operations, and team leadership. However, my passion for technology eventually took over, prompting a career shift into the tech industry.


I transitioned into a technical support role at Virgin Media, where I honed my skills in troubleshooting, customer support, and IT service management. This experience served as a strong foundation for my subsequent roles in different companies, where I specialized in application support and development. I worked on a wide range of projects, from improving existing software solutions to developing new applications, which helped me build a diverse skill set in both front-end and back-end development.


Most recently, I served as the Head of IT for a start-up focused on fibre installations for multi-dwelling units. In this role, I was responsible for implementing new technologies, and ensuring that our systems met the needs of a rapidly growing business. This position allowed me to apply my technical expertise while leading a team and aligning IT strategies with business objectives, further cementing my passion for technology and innovation.
