Personal details

Name 

Matt Deakin

Place of work

Durham University

Job title

Employer Relations and New Business Manager

Interests and current projects

My 18 month old son takes up most of my time.  I am currently developing some IT related stuff for the service (one of those 'oh that'll make a good job for the summer' things) as well as early stage design of a new student work experience project.

My current interest, being a bit of a geek, is my little Asus EEEPC which you may see in action if you attend my workshops.

I am also following the football transfer market to see if Aston Villa can sign someone other than Marlon Harewood this year.

I would like to meet

Everybody!  I'm a friendly guy.

People with IT interests and also anyone from a University with a recruiters club or employer membership service.  I'm researching possibilities.
