About Matthew Algie:
For over 160 years, we’ve been roasting exceptional coffee and supporting the people who serve it. From our home in Glasgow, we’ve grown into one of the UK and Ireland’s most trusted coffee partners.

- Assist with backup management—monitoring logs, updating records and escalating issues
- Manage user accounts across systems such as Active Directory, Azure Entra ID, Office 365 and others, including account closure and mailbox archiving
You’ll be supported every step of the way by experienced IT professionals who are invested in your development.
