Board of directors

Roy Proctor - Managing DirectorRoy Proctor C.Dir
Managing Director
Founded Coldharbour Systems: July 1986

Roy entered the IT industry in the late 1970s, spending his formative years with WH Smith, Kienzle Computers and DRG (Dickinson Robinson Group) Business Systems.

In July 1986 Roy and a partner founded Coldharbour Systems after a successful management buy-out. In 1995, after becoming Managing Director in 1991, Roy bought out his partner. Since this time, Roy has wholly owned the company.

Roy is married with three children. A real family business, Roy's wife Sharon is Company Accountant, his eldest son James is a programmer in the development department and his youngest son Jonathan, a part qualified accountant, works in the MIS department.

In May 2004, Roy qualified as a Chartered Director, setting a gold standard for the board to follow.  Today we have three chartered directors on the board. 

When not working or worrying about CPD (Continuing Personal Development) Roy leads a very active life, with four dogs and 22 acres of land.  Interestingly, a large part of the filming for the TV series "Robin of Sherwood" took place over 12 acres of the woodland attached to Roy's home.

Having spent the last two years renovating two properties, Roy now looks forward to touring Europe with Eric Clapton (having just fitted an iPod adapter in his car for his forthcoming holiday!)

With the wildlife associated with his property Roy assured us that there is never a dull moment...
