Roy Manor

Anton Macius
IT & Technical Support Manager
I’ve been looking after all IT and technical support related work at GetTaxi UK since before it launched in 2011. In fact, if it’s anything to do with product development, testing, new features, you name it, I get involved. What do I do In between managing the incredibly talented team here? Keeping up with the latest technology seems to be a full time job in itself and if you add my gaming addiction to the mix and it leaves little time for much else!
