Patrick Burgess is co-founder and technical director at Nutbourne. An enthusiastic and passionate IT professional with over 15 years’ experience in senior decision-making position, he has founded companies focused on managed IT services, data protection, and cybersecurity.
Initially hailing from the technical side of IT, Patrick now has significant experience in organizational-level strategy, security, and best practice. A chartered member of the British Computer Society, Patrick is a member of the information security steering committee, which helps drive best practice. This committee helps form BCS policy on cybersecurity for both business and government legislation.

When not in front of a computer Patrick loves spending family time outnumbered by his wife and daughters. As a keen orienteer, he can regularly be found in the depths of a forest or on top of a hill, studying a map and trying to work out which direction he should be running.
