To maintain our position as a competitive laptop manufacturer in the UK market it was vital to invest in our team. The great potential for Rock this year to build on our previous success is the key reason that Alasdair chose to join our team.”

“It was Rock’s success to date, their ambition to develop their product portfolio this year that appealed to me. I feel that joining Rock Group was certainly the right decision and I am excited about working closely with the key partners like Intel, ATI and Microsoft to ensure our products remain cutting edge. Having worked at Computer Shopper I understand the intense group testing the magazines will put our products through and the need to evolve our portfolio to remain at the top.”
