Alex Belford

Managing Director, Code Nation

Our Alex has carved out an impressive career in the tech sector; as a recruiter by trade, he’s worked all over the country, helping everyone from niche startups to FTSE-listed recruitment organisations in their quest to find scarce digital talent.

His awesome grasp on the tech sector, which comes from working with talented software developers, project and programme management and business development professionals, means he’s the perfect man to head up Code Nation.

And like the rest of us, he’s passionate about coding and the prospect of creating the digital recruits of the future. Add to that his commitment to making sure our students have well-rounded skills to excel in the workplace - which he offers to students via coaching and mentoring - he’s getting all our students perfectly primed for their next role.

All this, Alex believes, will help curb the ever-widening skills gap within IT and digital; he hopes Code Nation will make business leaders, government and academia sit up and tackle the challenges that need to be overcome.
