Our People

John's first job was a soldier in the Army.  After 3 and a half years, he reached the conclusion that mud wasn't for him and departed to embark on a career in IT.

In 2003 he joined SOS and shortly after the SOS Connect product was born.  John was the first script writing consultant.  After 6 years at SOS he was poached by a leading Devon law firm.

John spent 6 years working in practice designing Connect applications and improving the product across almost every aspect of the law.

In 2015, John left the practice and setup LawSol.  His aim was to marry his knowledge of both legal process and SOS Connect development to provide services and applications for many law firms.

In his spare time John can normally be found completing one of the endless DIY jobs at home.  He enjoys walking his two dogs with his wife, Chris, tempted by the promise of a pub stop.  An avid gamer, he is currently part way through playing The Witcher 3 for the 3rd time!

Guy is a Mathematics graduate from The University of Exeter.  Possibly more dedicated to his extracurricular activities than his study, he did nonetheless graduate in 2004 with an honours degree.   

Following university, Guy embarked on a Ski season as a chalet host.  It was during this time that John recommended him for a job at SOS.  Guy spent 18 and a half years with SOS and left as a senior technical engineer.

In 2022, Guy was offered a job as Head of Technical Services at LawSol.  In addition to applications development, he provides a range of technical services across our client base.

In his spare time, Guy likes to do DIY, go snow boarding and is a keen semi professional croquet player.

His roles include Weather Radar Archivist, network system management, tech support for PC upgrades, Application support for forecast products, software engineer and technical lead too.

On leaving the Met Office Jon took a break - taking kids out of school to experience nature and the great outdoors, for a year or so - moving on to join a Devon-based solicitors as their in-house SOS Scripter for almost 8 years. He now is excited to join the team at LawSol to add his technical skills to meet an increased need for enhancements and improvements to SOS Connect.

In his spare-time, Jon has a large family, and an even larger Scout Group to help out with :-) He helps Father Christmas out regularly, loves the outdoors, music, comedy and generally living in Devon. He lives with Liz, some of his 5 sons, 2 dogs, a cat and several chickens.
