Here's what some have graciously said about me.......
"As we move forward in the council with a different
culture it's true to say that you helped to pioneer a much more positive
way of responding to ICT difficulties - that every challenge is an
opportunity for creativity."
Sue Harrison, Service Director - Learning, Schools and Communities, Blackpool

“John is dedicated, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. Few people I worked
with had the same 'history' in education or the same passion for using IT
to help students succeed.
While I and others moved from the education space into more traditional commercial
roles John stayed true to his principles and dedication to education.”
Derek Baker, Senior Manager, Education Solutions Group, Apple
*********************************************************************************************************
"John, I hope people out their know how much of an expert you are.
Long may you be around to help people...."
Geoff Reeves, Business Adviser to the Orvia Group
*********************************************************************************************************
“John is a passionate advocate and tireless worker for the effective use of
technology in learning. He is a good communicator and reliable partner in
any work-based project. And he has a lot of good experience to draw upon.
So versatile; committed; passionate and engaged are his watchwords.”
Nigel Paine, CEO, SCET, Head of People Development BBC
*********************************************************************************************************
“John is an excellent manager and expert on Apple Mac systems.
The time I spent with him was richly rewarding as he has a good grasp of
strategic thinking and planning needs in the context of ICT and its use in the
community.”
Stephen Musgrave, Regional Manager, Open University
*********************************************************************************************************
“I have known John since 2001 when he led one of four feasibility pilots for the
South Yorkshire eLearning Programme, a complex and large-scale European-funded
programme to increase the IT skills of South Yorkshire in schools, libraries,
small businesses and community outreach centres. As Project Director for the programme
I was impressed by John’s passion and understanding of new technology and his ability
to engage with and build a community of teachers and trainers in the implementation
of a shared virtual learning environment and online learning resources.”
Christine Lewis, Cross Government and EU Strategic Alignment Manager, UK Ministry of Justice

“When Computers were something that cost as much as a 3 bedroom semi and the
internet had not even been christened yet I met a teacher called John (Mr) Rudkin.
A friend of mine who went on to become a leading TV and Theatre dsigner introduced us.
Mr Rudkin taught us Design during which he imparted some really strong guidance
(an alien concept to many of his peers) they call it mentoring nowadays.
He told us all that we could do whatever we wanted to do, simple really, but he backed
it up with support, guidance and encouragement.
This set me on a path to a career in IT that I have enjoyed every day since.
Thanks Mr. Rudkin.”
Martin Carroll, Director of IT Security, Rolls-Royce
