Barry Kemp is one of the founders of BACK Consulting and specialises in providing the technical and operational expertise to companies around the world. Barry’s academic and technical knowledge are much sought after commodities by both clients and academic institutes. He studied at Northumbria University and completed his BSc (HONS) in Computing for Industry in the year 2000. During this time he spent a year working for Proctor & Gamble in Newcastle, Cincinnati and Frankfurt.
After university Barry immediately took up employment with top law firm Ward Hadaway and took charge of all case management projects including Debt Recovery, Road Traffic Accident, Personal Injury, medical Negligence, Credit Control, Plot Sales, Residential Conveyancing and more. On the back of such systems the departments went from strength to strength with Debt Recovery becoming the largest provider in the North East and RTA having the fastest turn-around in cases. During this time at Ward Hadaway, Barry went back to Northumbria University and obtained his second degree, an MSc in E-Business Computing with a final year project of web enabling the afore-mentioned case management system. 5 years after he began with Ward Hadaway he joined an American software company to resell their product in Europe as Technical Manager. This role involved all aspects of delivery from supporting sales, requirements, analysis, design, construction, testing, deployment and support.
As well as learning how to shape a “tool-kit” case management system to suit the needs of certain areas of law he also had to develop additional add-ons using .NET languages, MS Access, PHP, MySQL, Crystal Reports and much more. This required high levels of project management and clients in Scotland, Ireland and England all gave glowing references.
In 2006 Barry teamed up with Andrew Charlton to start their consultancy service to combine the mix of Barry’s technical experience and Andrew’s vast knowledge of business. Together they form a formidable partnership and look to move into a number of key areas.
