Meet The Team

Managing Director

Julian Bryan has been Managing Director of Quill since 2012 and has led the company through a period of significant commercial growth as well as structural reorganisation.

Passionate about developing services and software that deliver tangible benefit to users, Julian has been instrumental in introducing enhancements to the company’s varied solution range, including outsourced payroll and pension management service. Equally important to Julian are the benefits of engaging his employees and he has set about the task of making his company ‘one of the best places to work’.

Prior to Quill, Julian was Managing Director of Veterinary Solutions Ltd, which he grew from 300 to 1400 clients in ten years. Julian has extensive experience in delivering software and service solutions to food producers, veterinary surgeons, dentists and, most recently, solicitors.

Julian is now working a long way from his agricultural roots but retains his interest by ‘farming’ a vegetable patch in his garden. He is married to Carolyn and they have a daughter, Alexandra, who is a keen marketer.

IT Director

In a position held for over 17 years, as IT Director, Richard is responsible for the ongoing development of Quill's market-leading software package for law firms, Interactive, by enhancing existing features and adding new functionality to fulfil market requirements.

Client Services Director

Tom joined us in 2016 as Client Services Director and is responsible for all client-facing services which includes support for outsourced payroll users.

Tom has a key operational role and strong client focus at Quill, and brings 20 years of experience within the legal industry. Most recently, Tom was Operations Director at a leading motor insurance legal services business where he created and was responsible for a 200 seat outsourced insurance claims function, outsourced claims handling and hosted claims solution. Tom helped grow the business from less than 100 staff to 850+ over a 10 year period.

Tom is passionate about quality of service and is driven to continually exceeding customer expectations.

In his spare time, Tom enjoys mountain biking, hill walking, and spending time with family and friends. As a keen outdoors type, the Lake District is one of Tom's favourite and most-visited places. Tom is married to Sarah and they have a young daughter, Chloe, who keeps them on their toes!

Payroll Manager

Chris manages the outsourced payroll team, ensuring that all procedures, from BACS and PAYE payments through to payslip and report production, comply with HMRC guidelines and data legislation.

With her extensive experience in payroll management - Chris has worked in payroll for over 10 years - an important part of her role is supporting team members with their payroll-related queries and ensuring continuity of service provision during holidays or other absences.

Chris has been to university twice. First time round, she completed a degree in International Business with Italian and was fortunate enough to subsequently live in Rome for a year to practice her newly acquired language skills. Second time round, more recently, Chris achieved a foundation degree in Payroll Management.

She's married to Eric, born and bred in Liverpool, loves socialising, shopping and holidays (especially in the sun). Chris is from a really big family – she's one of 9 children - so enjoys spending time with her family when off work.

Regional Sales Consultant

Having worked at Quill since 2007, Anthony has progressed through the ranks. He began his Quill career as Legal Cashier then he was promoted internally to IT Support Analyst before moving into sales.

As Regional Sales Consultant, Anthony is one of the key points of contact between our company and our clients.

With business development and client retention responsibilities, Anthony's primary role involves additional product sales to existing clients and new products to prospective clients for our full portfolio including outsourced payroll and pension management services.

Outside of work, Anthony enjoys socialising with friends and family, frequenting country pubs and city centre restaurants alike to sample the best food and drinks on offer. He also loves walking in the lakes and enjoys the odd 60-mile bike ride!

Regional Sales Consultant

Jo joined Quill as Regional Sales Consultant in the summer of 2017, having spent the previous 21 years of her career working in sales, 16 of which were in the legal industry for various software suppliers.

Covering the South, Jo's responsible for both existing clients and prospective clients based in this area, involving additional and new product sales respectively. It's Jo's role to help practices keep up-to-date with software and service developments, and choose the combination of Quill solutions best suited to them.

On one hand, Jo is a keen keep fit enthusiast spending spare time in the gym or road running as well as dog walking. On the other hand, she's a gin fanatic and enjoys sampling many gins from around the world whilst travelling whenever she gets the opportunity. Socialising with friends and family is something that is always important to her, so it helps that her partner Danny has his own pub.
