The leading independent publisher of public sector technology news
Tim Hampson

Tim Hampson
Editor
UKauthorITy Report

Tim Hampson has been reporting and writing about how technology is used by the public sector for many years.

A founder member of Informed Publications in 1993, he was first drawn to the sector when he realised that though technology was important, it is what people do with it that is even more important.

One of the first stories he worked on involved a manager of an arboretum who through the use of a relational database was for the first time able to compile and manage a list of the trees under his care. The technology had empowered him and enabled him to do his work with greater passion and efficiency. The technology has moved on, through the ages of information and transformation, through to Digital Britain and now we the era of the cloud, but the principles remain the same – the real stories are not about the technology, they are about the people.
