Company Directors
Daren Bland
Managing DirectorToby and I founded Recarta in 2005 with the goal of becoming a leading and trusted IT partner for a range of Enterprise infrastructure and Managed Services.
I have a long history of working with IBM Power Servers – from engineering and brokering RS/6000 servers and parts from 1992, and then going on to create Powercore International – one of the UK's largest computer brokerage companies, which was eventually sold in 2008.
I believe that a key part of Recarta's success to date has been in how we develop open and honest relationships with our clients, partners, and most importantly, our Recarta team. We have embedded a can-do culture along with a deep integrity, which I believe shines through in every contact you will have with us. This has enabled us to build one of the best IBM solutions and managed services teams currently in the UK.
Living in East Sussex with my wife and four children, I play hobby farmer, tending to chickens, pigs, sheep, and goats. I enjoy politics and football (Arsenal), running, and listening to any decent rock drumming.
Toby Harris
Sales DirectorI am proud to say that I am a Recarta founder, shareholder, and the Sales Director of Recarta IT since 2005 and have been working with Daren since 1996 – He’s not bored of me yet… I have a very challenging but exciting role in providing input to Recarta’s strategy, meeting our clients, and managing some of Recarta’s largest clients.
I am driven daily by the relationships and responsibility that our clients have invested in us. We have built an amazing technical and sales team, and my role is to make sure that our clients are able to take advantage of this. Our culture is to build long-term partnerships with our clients – we are not here for the short term, and to this end, many of our clients have been with us since we started back in 2005.
I live between Surrey and Somerset – I enjoy keeping fit with triathlons and watching any live sports, especially rugby and motor racing. I enjoy traveling, visiting art museums, and supporting my daughters in their passions, one in drama and music and the other representing GB in Ice Hockey while studying in Boston, USA.
