Website Express director elected a Fellow of The Institution of Analysts and Programmers

James Forbes Keir, director of Cardiff-based Drupal agency Website Express, has today been elected a Fellow of The Institution of Analysts and Programmers, Britain's leading professional organisation for those working in the development, installation and testing of business systems and computer software.

Admission to the Institution's most senior grade is at the discretion of the body's ruling council. According to The Institution, Fellows are "outstanding professionals who exceed the requirements for Member by a substantial margin, and who have spent a considerable part of their working life in positions of substantial responsibility."

James studied Computer Science at Cardiff University and then worked in a number of IT roles in Cardiff before becoming the first Web Development Manager and then Technical Strategist for the International Baccalaureate Organisation. In 2008 he co-founded Website Express where he continues to oversee the overall technical direction of the company as Technical Director.

From 2013-2016 he served on the National Board of Round Table Britain and Ireland as National ICT Officer where he was responsible for successfully modernising the organisation's ICT infrastructure.

Speaking of his recent election, James said: "Being elected a Fellow of The Institution of Analysts and Programmers is a great honour for both me and Website Express and it's especially humbling to receive this recognition from my peers in the industry. I look forward to contributing much more to the industry over the coming years with the increased recognition that being a Fellow of the IAP brings me."
