Ray Large - IT Helpdesk Analyst

Name: Ray Large
Job: IT Helpdesk Analyst
Team: IT
Joined OFT: 1985

I started at the OFT in 1985 as a casual Administrative Assistant working in the Consumer Credit Licensing Department, and was made a permanent member of staff in 1986. In 1990, I secured promotion to the position of Case Officer, and enjoyed my job so much I stayed in that department for over 10 years.

I then moved to the Central Register of Convictions, and spent three years there as a Case Officer and two years as manager.

I have now moved over to working in the IT department, and have been developing my skills in this area for the past six years. I have found it challenging, as it is an area that is constantly changing, but it is a very rewarding job.

The OFT has given me many opportunities to develop myself and my career. I am a wheelchair user, but this has not stopped me from making progress and taking on new challenges. I have had 22 years I can honestly say have been great.
