Our Team

We are not your normal IT company and therefore our people are different too.  We employ staff that can talk in your language and make everything seem easy to understand regardless of the complexity involved.  We like to build lasting business relationships through great service and by constantly exceeding your expectations.

Craig Inglis - Director

Craig comes to us from sunny Nelson and then the Royal NZ Air Force where he spent 7 years as an avionices technician based at Whenuapai Air Base.   
Here he played with a lot of cutting edge electronics, but found that the computers were what he enjoyed most.

With this in mind, he moved into a data communications role which involved the installation and maintenance of physical cabling of all sorts and networking equipment around the base.  Then he moved onto desktop and server support for 1500 users and then to system administration, before leaving to join Phil and start Sentinel Technologies with the idea of bringing enterprise size solutions to SME's, but with great support and approachability that small businesses can provide.

Phillip Hitchcock - Director

After completing a Bachelors degree in software engineering, Phillip gained experience working in very large orgainisations (3000+ workstations) for a number of years.  His primary roles were development of new systems based around internet technologies.  Phillip decided to start Sentinel Technologies with Craig after working as a private contractor for a couple years when he realised he could bring the experience he had working in large organisations down to the SME market to offer an innovative selection of packages to that market.
