About Kris Douglas and Nine Lives IT
Hi, I’m Kris Douglas, the founder of Nine Lives IT. With an 18-year career rooted in IT consulting and infrastructure installation, I bring a wealth of experience from diverse sectors, including managed service providers, web hosting companies, and telecoms. My journey in technology has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of complex IT environments and the practical skills to implement robust solutions.
Beyond my professional life, I’m passionate about engineering, computing, and electronics. This passion extends to my role as the technical director and a train driver for the Amerton Railway, a charity-operated heritage railway in Staffordshire. I believe unique blend of professional expertise and personal dedication to technical pursuits ensures that at Nine Lives IT, we approach every project with a meticulous eye for detail and an innovative mindset.
The name “Nine Lives IT” isn’t just a nod to my two beloved cats; it’s a philosophy embedded in every service we offer. Just as cats are known for their remarkable resilience and ability to land on their feet, we ensure your IT infrastructure possesses the same qualities. In the unpredictable landscape of modern business, IT challenges can feel like setbacks. That’s where “Nine Lives IT” comes in.
