Daniel Mitchell

Thank you for visting my blog. I am 37 years old and married with two boys, I live just outside St Albans, in the UK.

Originally working in accountancy practices, I began my involvement in IT while working with specialist accounting software in 1993. I founded 'Dam IT Consultants' in 1996, initially working with finance systems for manufacturers in the fashion sector and later providing more general network support and business consultancy services. Dam IT merged with Lifeline IT in 2002.

Lifeline IT provides network and infrastructure support to small and medium sized businesses. My team comprises highly skilled IT professionals who pool in-depth knowledge and experience. We all get a buzz working with people in different areas of business.

As a director of Lifeline IT I spend most of my time working with new clients, particularly on project management and consultancy. This involves acquiring in-depth knowledge of clients’ organisations and for several I work with them on an ongoing basis to develop and implement new systems, software and workflows.

I have a special interest in Global Cyber Security and am a member of the Industrial Liaison Group for the faculty of computing at London Metropolitan University. I write and speak on IT and IT security, including as resident ‘IT expert’ for smallbusiness.co.uk.

You can find out more about my work at www.lifelineit.net and through my LinkedIn profile at www.linkedin.com/in/danielmitchell

Outside of work I have great interest in current affairs, international relations and of course business and enterprise. Relaxation comes from family, food, photography and travel.
