John Williams

John began his career 20 years ago in the IT sector, an industry where the pace of innovation and growth has been unparalleled.  He has been at the forefront of this growth enabling some of the top brand names in the country keep pace with all that new technology has to offer.

His modus operandi is all about outstanding customer service delivered by exceptional people.  He believes that if a company has a genuine passion for customer care at its core, it can be hugely successful. And it was on that belief that he, together with long-time business partner Mark Adkins, founded Celestra.  John’s views on how a good business should operate are firmly embedded in Celestra through its values, The 5Cs.

When asked what he’s most proud of, John always says it’s Celestra’s fantastic people, doing amazing things. And despite the sheer scale of what Celestra has achieved in its first decade, he still maintains close ties with customers and his stature in the industry is bigger than ever (even discounting his 6’ 3” frame!).

Despite living and breathing Celestra, John loves nothing more than spending time with his family including 5 kids and a lot of netball on the weekends.  He enjoys sailing, open-water swimming and his lifelong passion for rugby is well-known.
