Meet Team Eildon
My name is Alison Low...
... founder of Eildon IT Training. In August 2019 made the decision to give up on the daily commute between Dunbar and Edinburgh to my job at The Royal College of Surgeons. It had been my intention to write a novel. However, after the first Covid lockdown I found there was a market of older people who wanted to get online and learn more about computers. It was from this that Eildon IT Training & Consulting was born. With my experience of delivering professional training, and my background as a voluntary Computer Buddy with East Lothian Council, I understood what people required.
I love art and visiting galleries. I completed a degree in Art History in 2013. I also enjoy reading scary stories, watching old films, and attending classical music concerts.
I live in Dunbar with my husband, Bob, and our tomcat, Tarragon The Terrible.
My name is Fiona Moore...
... after taking time away from the workplace, I was looking for a way back into the job Market. The first time I heard about Eildon Training was when my husband, Chris, showed me a Facebook post for a ten week computer course. I was surprised when Alison offered me a job before the end of the training. The course helped me build the necessary skills and confidence to work towards a new future in computer training and I am really looking forward to being part of team Eildon.
In my spare time I love spending time with my family and pets, who play a large part in my life. I enjoy walks with our dog Gunner along the East Lothian coastline and exploring new places . At home, along with my husband and Gunner, we also have our cat Smudge. Although our children are now adults and away from home we all remain very close, enjoying social events, days out, and other occasions.
