Employee Spotlight - Justin Cordingley

Hi, I’m Justin Cordingley and I’m head of delivery at RDT Ltd. After getting my degree in civil engineering I began working as a structural engineer – there are a number of commercial developments in London that are seated on my designs and calculations. But then I was enticed by the excitement and pace of the IT industry and decided to leave structural engineering and try a new career as a software engineer.

I gained experience in this field in marketing, trade associations and financial services before moving into insurance when I joined RDT nine years ago. I’ve had great opportunities to progress here, working my way through to my current role where I’m responsible for the performance of our delivery teams and the release of all of RDT's products.

June 2016 Employee Spotlight - Damian Murphy

Hello, my name is Damian Murphy and I am a test engineer at RDT. I joined in 2011 and after only a few days I broke my collarbone! This was not the start I expected but RDT stuck by me and, touch wood, I've not had any incidents recently.

Before RDT I spent 20 years in the Civil Service in IT, but was made redundant when the government decided to outsource its IT overseas. However I had never wanted to work in an office - at 16 I got a YTS apprenticeship in hydraulic engineering and machinery. After that I worked briefly as a builder, then started working at the Department for Education and Employment as a porter. I quickly progressed and would take on any extra responsibility and training that was offered, and eventually left to join the Radiocommunications Agency. Once there I became a super user for their IT system and finally transferred into the IT department as a tester.
