Over the years Neil has had many different roles from working on BT’s social media teams (Twitter) to case managing director level complaints but he feels that working on the community is the most fulfilling and interesting job that he has held within the company. Neil enjoys playing PS4 in his spare time, Fifa and COD are his go-to games at the moment but he also enjoys a good action-adventure game like Red Dead redemption.

DanielS - Danny has worked for BT since 2009. In his 11 years with BT, he has worked for us through many channels such as Twitter, Facebook, and our Director and Chairman’s teams.
He joined the Community as a member in 2010 but it wasn’t until early 2016 that he achieved his goal of becoming a Moderator. He now splits his time between the Community
and helping other advisers as a Coach. Outside of work, he spends his time with his wife, two young Sons and their energetic dog. He’s also a keen gamer and loves all things technical.
JohnC2 - Has worked for BT since 1998 and has worked in many different departments at that time. John joined the Community in 2016 and would have to say it has been the best team he has worked with. John’s spare time is spent watching many sports and badly playing some sports. He likes a good comedian and going to local comedy nights. John also likes to watch a good TV program like Line of Duty but cannot stand reality TV programs.
The Community Manager
SeanD has worked for BT since 2006 and spent the majority of that time working on the community in some capacity. He has worked across broadband sales, billing and technical support. In the last few years, he’s been working as the Community Manager and absolutely loves it because every day is a school day. He’s a family man, so much of his spare time is spent with his better half and four kids who keep him busy. He’s a movie and series addict and likes nothing more than a good Netflix binge. He also enjoys gaming online with his Xbox but doesn’t get as much time for it as he’d like. He’s a sports fan with football (a Man United fan of course) and MMA being top of the list, but he will watch almost any sport except cricket.
