Angie Keith our IT Manager (pictured) was appointed in 2013 to the board of directors at Scottish Hockey.  Angie has been involved in hockey since her school days and currently both plays for, and is a committee member of, Aberdeen Bon Accord MBC Hockey Club.  Angie’s specialism lies in her 25 years' experience in IT and Project Management and she has worked in both the private and public sectors as well as heading up the IT department at James & George Collie for the last 9 years.

One of her first projects was to help with moving the IT infrastructure of Scottish Hockey from the Edinburgh office to the new Glasgow Hockey Centre at Glasgow Green.  The new centre is specially designed to host the Glasgow 2014 hockey competition for the Commonwealth Games. The facility consists of two synthetic hockey pitches, as well as athlete and official support areas.  When the drama of the hockey competition is over, the world-class sporting facilities will remain, acting as headquarters for Scottish Hockey and being used by Glasgow schools for training and competition.

Angie’s latest project is to lead Scottish Hockey’s transition to a new Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, working in a short-life working group alongside Scottish Hockey’s Communication Manager Stuart Moffatt and Operations Manager Vincent Bryson.

“Angie has been a fantastic addition to the board at Scottish Hockey, both for her guidance in IT strategy as well as having a fantastic can-do attitude towards solving a myriad of IT problems in what has been a huge period of change for Scottish Hockey.  She has been a tremendous source of expertise for the organisation to call on” said Vincent Bryson, Operations Manager.

Senior Partner of James & George Collie, Tony Dawson, commented “The Firm fully supports Angie with her involvement on the Board of Scottish Hockey.  Indeed we are far from surprised at the excellent contribution she has made since her appointment.

As a former Scottish badminton international I realise just how important it is to give back what you took out of your sport in your youth.  Sport forms a pivotal role in everyday life in so many different ways.”
