Employee Spotlight – Jonny Weir
Our employees are the backbone of the Outsource Group, consistently delivering exemplary service and security to our customers. Today, we’re excited to post the next in our “Employee Spotlight” series with Jonny Weir, where we highlight the incredible work our staff do to drive Outsources’ success.
🌟 Meet Jonny, our indispensable Senior Account Manager. He’s the joker of the pack and provides our customers with first class service, always on hand to make sure each of our valued customers are guided expertly on their digital and cyber security journey’s.
We took some time out to ask Jonny some questions on his vital role at Outsource Group in our Employee Spotlight series:
1. What is your job title?
Depends on the day, officially Senior Account Manager but when Sandra is in the office its official coffee maker.
2. How long have you worked for the Outsource Group?
I have been blessing Outsource Group with my presence for coming on 6 years.
3. What is your favourite thing about working for the Outsource Group?
It’s definitely not the people like everyone says!!!… only joking although the people are all great. I would have to say the customers I get to work with on a daily basis.
4. What was your motivation for picking the career you now work in?
Being totally honest I didn’t want to work in IT, but my careers teacher arrived at the house when I couldn’t get into tech to be a spark and told my mum she had enrolled me in an IT course, as a few people know I used to be an engineer (that’s the running joke but I was)
5. What is the most rewarding thing about your job?
Working for a company that stands by its staff. It also would be completing projects with customers and seeing how they have grown on both their digital and security journey.
6. Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?
Probably still asking Eamonn for that new coffee machine, still working with Outsource, driving to keep being the number one MSSP.

Employee Spotlight – Damien Atkinson
Our employees are the backbone of the Outsource Group, consistently delivering exemplary service and security to our customers. Today, we’re excited to post the next in our “Employee Spotlight” series with Damien Atkinson, where we highlight the incredible work our staff do to drive Outsources’ success.
🌟 Meet Damien, our indispensable Project Coordinator. Not only does he play a crucial role in our projects, but he also brings joy and laughter to the team. As a founding member of our social committee, S.P.A.R.K, Damien is always the first to step up and organize social and charity events.
We took some time out to ask Damien some questions on his vital role at Outsource Group:
1. What is your job title?
Jack of all trades, master of none! or Project Co-Ordinator
2. How long have you worked for the Outsource Group?
Seven and a half years.
3. What is your favourite thing about working for the Outsource Group?
PIZZA!!!, only joking…it’s the people for sure. I have made great friends for life throughout my Outsource journey. Also, the flexibility that is offered to you, nothing is ever a problem for Outsource, if you need to work from home at any time, it is always granted.
4. What was your motivation for picking the career you now work in?
I worked in retail for 13 years when I left education. Late 2016 was the moment I decided to explore other opportunities and thankfully I found Outsource. I initially joined Outsource as Sales Admin, then worked my way up to the Project Co-Ordinator role late 2019. I am passionate about pursuing a career in Project Management and hope to gain as much experience and qualifications in my current role to achieve that goal.
5. What is the most rewarding thing about your job?
Definitely working with so many of my colleagues from different departments. I am a very positive guy and love to make those around me smile/laugh. I can’t forget about the social events and especially the 20th anniversary of Outsource trip to Palma in September 2022. I have been very lucky to be working for such a great company. Bring on the 25th celebrations😊
6. Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?
Ideally, I hope I will have progressed with the project management goal and contributing to the company’s continued success.

Employee Spotlight – Angela Smith
Employee Spotlight – Angela Smith
At Outsource Group, our employees are the heart and soul of our operations, consistently delivering exceptional service and ensuring our customers’ peace of mind. Today, we’re excited to unveil our second “Employee Spotlight” series with Angela Smith, where we celebrate the incredible individuals whose dedication and hard work drive our success.
🌟 Angela is the glue that binds together ANSEC IA (an Outsource Group company). As Office Manager of ANSEC IA, she is a confidante, facilitator, go getter and organisational whizz! (Not to mention she brings the cutest office dog to work for us all to get a cuddle!).
We took some time out to ask Angela some questions on her vital role at Outsource Group:
1. What is your job title?
Office Manager/PA.
2. How long have you worked for the Outsource Group?
Coming up to 1 year.
3. What is your favourite thing about working for the Outsource Group?
If you ask me what my favourite thing about working for Ansec IA is, that’s an easy one to answer: it’s their work ethos. The company not only encourages us to strive for excellence in our professional roles but also promotes a healthy work-life balance. They understand that personal life is as important as professional growth. This balance allows us to bring our best selves to work each day, fostering an environment of productivity and mutual respect. It’s more than just a workplace.
4. What was your motivation for picking the career you now work in?
At school, knowing what I wanted to be when “I grow up” wasn’t clear cut, so I picked subjects I enjoyed and was pretty good at i.e. maths, commerce, typing, art and languages. My mummy envisioned me as a Bi-lingual Interpreter, but I wasn’t convinced! During my “Work Experience” I was placed as a secretary’s assistant. I quickly realised that their role was central to the organisation and required knowledge in a wide variety of areas: HR, H&S, Finance, Legal, Marketing, Training & Development, Sales, Customer Service and Business Development and I’ve never looked back!
5. What is the most rewarding thing about your job?
The most rewarding aspect of my role lies in the variety and complexity of tasks that I handle. The organisational skills required to manage diverse responsibilities as well as the ability to pre-empt and provide solutions enhances my role significantly. Above all, acting as a confidante, facilitating open communication and mutual understanding, is truly rewarding.
6. Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?
I see myself constantly evolving in my role, making a meaningful impact, whilst still enjoying my work. I’m excited about the opportunities for self-improvement that lie ahead and the difference I can make in my workplace.
Alternatively, sailing around the Mediterranean (the crew that is, not me) with my four legged confidante “Koko”, and husband in tow, sipping Espresso Martinis – that would work too!

Employee Spotlight – Cara McManus
Employee Spotlight – Cara McManus
Our employees are the back bone of the Outsource Group, always striving to give our customers exemplar service and security. Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on our “Employee Spotlight” series with Cara McManus, People & Culture as we shine a light on our staff and the fundamental work they do to make Outsource a success.
🌟 Cara’s Vital Role As our People & Culture Business Partner, Cara orchestrates the symphony of talent, weaving connections, nurturing growth, and harmonizing our workplace culture. She’s the compass guiding us toward a thriving, engaged team.
We took some time out to ask Cara some questions on her vital role at Outsource Group:
1. What is your job title?
People and Culture Business Partner
2. How long have you worked for the Outsource Group?
6 months 😊
3. What is your favourite thing about working for the Outsource Group?
Definitely the people. Their warmth and support have made my transition into this new role a breeze. Plus, who can resist our adorable office dog, Koko? 😊
4. What was your motivation for picking the career you now work in?
While studying for my marketing degree, I was working full time in a coffee shop as a supervisor dealing with day-to-day people management. This led me to pursue my CIPD Level 3 in People Practice to see if the interest went further, long story short it did and not long after I secured my first role in Manchester as HR Administrator. Fast forward 9 years, and here I am, still passionate about HR (and feeling a tad older).
5. What is the most rewarding thing about your job?
I think being able to be there for the good and bad times, from welcoming new hires to celebrating life’s big moments, or lending an ear when times are tough, I strive to maintain an open-door policy. After all, we all need a good rant sometimes!
6. Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?
In five years, I see myself continually learning and growing in my HR career because, as they say, “every day is a school day” 😊. And who knows, maybe I’ll add a few more fur babies along the way or perhaps I’ll be lucky enough to win the prize guy. 😉
* Cara is pictured enjoying some downtime at her favourite spot, the Four Winds Bar, with her favourite companion, Mila (her adorable cockapoo, also known as “The Child”).
