Gordon Kenworthy
Head of Mathematics and Computing Services

"A common thread to all RA activities is the handling, analysis and storage of data. As with most organisations, computers are playing a key role in these areas.

In addition to the cost effective operation, development, and security of the Group's central computing facilities, we are increasingly involved in software development to support internal database applications as well as in software applications for the food industry in general.

To be effective a multi-disciplinary approach is required, combining specialist knowledge of the application area with knowledge of data collection and analysis techniques. Our experienced systems management and programming teams work with clients and colleagues to ensure cost effective value added services."
