Our new member Robert Roche was inducted on 13 November 2007 with the classification of Information Technology –Outsourcing.   He was sponsored by Craig Douglas.

 

Born in the United Kingdom, I migrated to Australia with my family at the age of 12 in 1981. I attended Oakhill College in Castle Hill until 1985.

I started my career in Information Technology in 1986 and held numerous technical and management positions prior to co-founding SynergyIT Pty. Limited in 1995.

I left this SynergyIT in 2001 and then co-founded of Ensyst Pty. Limited; a successful IT Consulting and Outsourcing company. My business partner and I started the Ensyst in August 2001 and today it employs 27-staff in varying roles.

In 2006 we took the opportunity to re-acquire SynergyIT and merged it with the Ensyst business.

The company has made it into BRW’s list of the top 100 fastest growing businesses for three consecutive years. Most of our business is generated through referrals based on the good reputation, relationships and trust we have built during our careers. We now plan to acquire similar businesses in an effort to sustain the growth achieved over the last 6-years.
My skills are in the areas of Project and Business Management as well as Business Development.

I devote some of my spare time to helping the homeless and less fortunate by volunteering at a soup kitchen run by St Canice’s church in Darlinghurst. I have enjoyed being a volunteer at St. Canice’s for over 11-years.

I also support numerous charities including; the Starlight Children’s Foundation, the Children’s Cancer Institute, World Vision, the Fred Hollows Foundation, the Red Shield Appeal and Saint Vincent’s Hospital.

I have a passion for motorcycles and have been riding for 22-years, during this time I have attended several “Stay Upright” courses and a race school. I have attended numerous track days and previously raced classic motorcycles with my father, who is also an enthusiast.
