About Andy Latham

I am the Managing Director of K3 SYSPRO in the UK. Born in Wolverhampton and with parents in the forces I spent my formative years all over the world. After school I completed a BSc Hons in Chemistry and Business Studies, at Salford University. I ended up in IT quite accidentally. Walking through Manchester in the rain one afternoon, I came across an ICL billboard offering multi choice aptitude tests and free coffee. I went in for the coffee and to get dry, and came out with a job offer. I had always wanted to own my own business, and in 1985 I established Information Engineering Ltd with a business partner. This company soon became one of only two UK distributors of SYSPRO business software. Over twenty successful years later Information Engineering was acquired by K3 Business Technology Group and I was appointed Technical Director in their K3 SCS division. In 2010 the K3 Group rebranded its dedicated SYSPRO ERP division as K3 SYSPRO, based in Manchester, and appointed me as its Managing Director. After nearly thirty years working with and for SYSPRO, I probably know the product better than most. I have served in every possible role from helpdesk, to implementation, to development, and everything in between. I am happily married. I enjoy sport and researching everything technological. My current hobbies are playing golf and running.
