Meet the brains behind Applicable.

Combining deep expertise, strategic vision and a dash of personality to keep us at the forefront of innovation.

John Scanlon John Scanlon

John joined Applicable in 2012 and is responsible for the technical operations and delivery teams. He has a wealth of technical experience from COBOL mainframes to global telecoms and AI.

He’s a husband to the wonderful Gail. He’s a proud geek and part-time quixotic Jedi who loves fell walking, playing board games, Sundays and a glass of whiskey in front of the fire.

Mark Wells Mark Wells

Mark joined Applicable in 2016 and is responsible for operating the sales team, driving opportunities across multiple channels and working closely with partners and their customers to deliver managed Microsoft 365 and complex voice solutions.

Outside the office, Mark is a ‘pretend farmer’ who really loves his highland cows and family.

Liz Jackson Liz Jackson
Liz Jackson Co-owner: Finance and HR Director

Liz joined Applicable in 2009 and leads the Finance, HR and administrative functions. She’s an experienced and people-focused finance professional who loves supporting decision-making and keeping all eyes on the financial ball.

Liz is also a devoted mum to three fabulous sons and a superb stepson, all successfully nurtured to adulthood alongside a long-suffering hubby, but with a dark secret as a houseplant serial killer! Liz is fuelled almost entirely by wine and chocolate.

Our experts

Blending technical expertise with personal passion to create a team that’s as approachable as it is skilled.

Ian Jordan Ian Jordan
Ian Jordan Head of Consultancy

With 20+ years in tech, Ian combines adaptability, leadership, and technical expertise to deliver lasting solutions, foster innovation, and turn challenges into growth opportunities.

Ian’s an advocate for the quiet country life and enjoys European adventures in his motorhome. He also loves anything techy – much to his wife’s consternation, as she just wants to flick a switch to turn the house lights on.

Hadrian Fraser Hadrian Fraser
Hadrian Fraser Senior Manager: Global Managed Service Operations

With 20+ years at Applicable, Hadrian designs, implements and manages our service delivery operations. His goals are customer retention and building deeper relationships through technical innovation and business change.

He’s also a keen global traveller, a mediocre football player (his words!), a proud father of three, an avid consumer of “whodunnit” novels and movies with a good plot twist.

Mark Dixon Mark Dixon
Mark Dixon Director of Innovation

With 20+ years in IT, Mark’s role encompasses innovation at Applicable, boosting customer satisfaction, mentoring teams, and enhancing business operations.

At heart, hes a farm boy who loves a bit of hard graft, his family, kids, scouting, and all things tech – “put me in a forest on a crisp winter morning!”

Jon Bennett Jon Bennett
Jon Bennett Director of Information Security

Jon specialises in cybersecurity strategy, data privacy and protection, compliance and risk management. He’s got a proven track record, with a knack for developing robust security frameworks.

A dedicated dad of three, Jon loves spending time with his family. He relishes every opportunity to travel overseas but is less enthusiastic when it comes to making the most of his gym membership!
