Chris Histed

‘In 2003, I founded an online publishing company, PublicTechnology.net. We provide websites, email services, events and direct marketing for public and private sector IT clients. Before that, I held COO roles at Parliamentary Communications Ltd, silicon.com, FT.com and BSkyB.

‘I joined the Company because I wanted a focused, structured way of giving something back to the industry. I’m now a Liveryman, and am about to become chair of the Education and Training Committee. I worked closely with Lilian Baylis school to raise funds and put together their successful bid for specialist status. There’s still so much I want to do, I reckon it’s going to take me 30 years to work through it all! It’s great to know I’ve got the Company behind me.’

Rachel Burnett

I am a solicitor. Before my legal career, I was an IT professional in systems analysis and project management for several years. My firm, Burnett IT Legal Services, works in the field of commercial contracts and the provision of legal advice to IT businesses and customers. I will be installed as President of the British Computer Society at its AGM on 31 October.

I am enthusiastic about contributing to the Company’s connected objectives of charity, education and fellowship. ITC is highly influential in promoting an understanding in business and the community of the immense scope of IT, and it effectively harnesses IT’s massive potential to benefit a variety of charitable purposes. ITC is unique in operating at the cutting edge of information and technology innovation, yet within the City’s proud historical tradition.

Tom Ilube

‘I’m Chief Executive of Garlik Ltd, a venture capital-backed technology start-up that specialises in identity management. I joined ITC because I really wanted to get involved in charity work, but didn’t know where to start. I’m also fascinated by the history of the City and by modern technology. ITC is where those two things come together.

‘Becoming a member has given me the chance to work with other people from similar backgrounds who share my passion for education. Together, we’ve achieved far more than we would working alone. ITC is a commitment for life, and I really value being part of a structure that develops and supports enduring friendships.’
