Farewell Mr. Sean 'SpunOut' Bryceland
Blog: May the force be with you!
SpunOut.ie's main man behind our technical and IT scenes, Sean Bryceland, is this week leaving the mighty SpunOut.ie and heading for new pastures. He leaves the buzz of the West coast here in Galway and heads East to claim fortune and glory in the land of global I.T. consultancy.
Sean faces East and eyes up his future fortunes.
Sean has been with SpunOut.ie since the very beginning. Sean was running his own web company in the wilds of North Donegal whilst he was still at school, when he was headhunted by 'rootless Ruairi' (lol). He stayed with SpunOut.ie, spearheading website development, and working on features and improvements, including three major site re-developments, whilst completing his degree in I.T. at NUI Galway.
Sean picks up the Golden Spider on behalf of SpunOut.ie.
Sean has also been instrumental in shaping the youth-led nature of the SpunOut.ie organisation, helping ensure young people's voices are included in every aspect of the organisation's decision making and development. This work was recognised last November when he picked up a prestigious Eircom Golden Spider Award on behalf of SpunOut.ie.
We have no doubt that Sean will blossom in everything he does and hope that he takes the 'SpunOut spirit' with him wherever he goes.
Sean, it's time to fly the SpunOut.ie coop and go show them Dubs and globalites how it's done.
Go get 'em!
Ruairi, Anna, Willie, Elma, Susie, Emily, Ian and all the crew.
"S traight-shooter, tells it like it is
E arly-riser, this man's the biz
A lways up for a laugh, never searching too far for smiles
N ever ever forgotten, even across the miles!
We'll miss you Sean!" Emily
"Sean, it's been a pleasure. You've created big shoes to step into. Go show them Dubs how it’s done!" Ruairi
“It's been a great few years Sean – good luck with everything in Dublin and make sure to charm the socks off them with that Donegal magic!” Anna
“I'll miss Eric and his magic wall.” Willie
Sean, the SpunOut.ie crew won’t be the same without you. You have been involved from the very beginning and the heart of SpunOut.ie will always contain some Sean B cells working away vigorously in the background. We are all going to miss your fun and bold sense of humour. The very best of luck to you! Susie Q
"Best of luck Sean in everything you do, we’re going to miss you. You're one hell of a web genius. Go kick some Dublin backside!!" Ian
