Our team is all Australian. All local. All accountable.

Every engineer on our team lives in Australia. No offshore helpdesk, no call-centre hand-offs, no account managers or sales reps between you and the person doing the work. Onshore engineers cost more. We pay it and keep the line to you direct.

Who you deal with

One team per client, so you always know who to call.

We don't run a triage-and-dispatch model. Every client gets a named team led by a senior technician, with direct contact details that skip reception. The Technology Success Director owns the strategy, the team lead owns the day-to-day, and the engineers do the work. Those three relationships stay put for the life of the engagement.

Leadership

Lee and Tim. They set the direction of the business, hold the technical standards, and own the client relationships.

Technology Success Directors

Our virtual chief information officer (vCIO) function. One director per client owns the roadmap, compliance posture, and the decisions that sit above the helpdesk.

Team leads

Every client account gets a named team lead. A senior technician who knows your environment, chairs your Security & Tech Review, and escalates with authority when it is needed.

Engineers and specialists

The people who pick up the phone and fix the thing. All Australian, all onshore, all direct employees, across networks, identity, Microsoft 365, and security operations.

Founder and managing partner

The two people who run CCP.

Lee started CCP in April 2000 and still runs it. Tim joined in September 2009, worked every seat in the company, and has been managing partner since December 2023. Between them they hold the client relationships, the commercial calls, and the technical standards the rest of the team works to.

Lee Sanders

Founder · since April 2000

Based
Perth, Western Australia
Tenure at CCP
26 years
Degree
BSc Computer Science, Curtin University (1999)

Lee started CCP in April 2000. At the time he was a senior support engineer at Edith Cowan University (ECU). He was running the project to move the Computer and Information Science department from Windows 98 to Windows XP. He automated enough of it that the day job quietened down, and started taking contract work on the side. That work turned into CCP. The university role ended in 2004. CCP is still here.

Before ECU he spent two and a half years as a network engineer at Perth internet provider Commerce Australia. He helped build the early real estate portals RealtyOnline and MyDesktop, both still used by agents across the country. Earlier still, during university holidays, he networked his local primary school in Cadoux so the students could get online for the first time.

These days Lee works behind the scenes. He holds the technical direction, makes the calls on senior hires and major vendor relationships, and decides what CCP invests in next. Client-facing work has moved across to Tim.

Timothy Harrison

Managing partner · since September 2009

Based
Perth, Western Australia
Tenure at CCP
16 years
Qualification
Diploma, Interactive Multimedia (TAFE NSW). MikroTik Certified Network Associate.

Tim joined CCP in September 2009 as an IT consultant. Level 1 to 3 support, server and network builds, Hyper-V and VMware, Microsoft platforms, scripting in PowerShell and VBScript, Brocade and Cisco networking, web and DNS work. He became Technical Operations Manager in 2014, General Manager in 2020, and Managing Partner in December 2023. If you have dealt with CCP in the last decade, odds are good it went through his desk at some point.

Tim runs all of our client-facing work and leads the Technology Success Program. That is how we deliver virtual chief information officer (vCIO) work. Quarterly strategy sessions with client leadership on the roadmap, compliance, and progress against the controls we require. He also runs hiring and writes the LinkedIn pieces on AI and cybersecurity that land in your feed. His own description of the job reads "I sit in a chair and pontificate about AI and Cybersecurity". When a contract needs structuring or a scope needs renegotiating, he is in that conversation too. Most of what clients and prospects hear from CCP comes through him.

Before CCP there was a stretch of mixed IT work: IT support, graphic design, web hosting, web design, and a fair bit of programming. Jack of all trades, master of some. The breadth means most of what lands on his desk now is familiar ground.

Day to day support

The engineers and technicians on your account.

The people who do the day-to-day work.

Deon Marshall

Lead DevOps · since August 2011

Deon leads our DevOps work: the pipelines, the monitoring, and the scripts that stop the team solving the same problem twice. Broad IT depth underneath that: Microsoft, virtualisation, networking, Wi-Fi, cybersecurity. Fifteen years in, a fair chunk of how CCP runs day to day is his handwriting.

His own framing: IT is a never-ending degree, and the work he likes best is the problem nobody has a playbook for yet. Queensland originally, Perth-based now. He ran his own shop, Demar IT, for two years before joining CCP, and managed the service side of Leading Edge Computers before that. Diploma of Information Technology from CSIT Mooloolaba.

Zak Brewer

Team lead · since August 2012

Zak leads a team of nine engineers. Clients asked for him by name for long enough that the promotion was obvious. He runs standards, escalations, the on-call rotation, and the quiet, load-bearing conversations with his engineers about how the work actually gets done.

Zak puts it this way: our job satisfaction is tied to our clients' satisfaction. At most shops that reads like a customer-service line. Here it is what we hire for. When a job isn't sitting right, Zak is usually the first to notice and say so.

Steven Makris

IT technician · since March 2019

Steven joined CCP in 2019 on dispatch, the role that routes tickets and keeps the helpdesk moving. He stepped into full technician work in 2022. Seven years in, he knows every client's Microsoft 365 tenant and every recurring issue. The patience comes from his previous career as a disability support worker.

Diploma of IT Networking and Certificate IV in Cyber Security Technology from South Metropolitan TAFE. Cisco CCNA from the years when routers and switches paid proper attention to that sort of thing.

Daniel Daglish

IT technician · since August 2022

Daniel's title is IT technician, and the remit runs wider than that reads. Web development, design, and automotive photography have all sat inside his freelance work as Zenith since 2010. At CCP he covers day-to-day tech work and picks up the web and internal tooling jobs when one comes along.

Before CCP he spent two years at another Perth managed service provider (MSP), doing the same blend of IT and web administration. Earlier work spanned social, technical, and web roles at Directors Deal. Certificate IV in Information Technology from South Metropolitan TAFE.

Nathan Wheat

IT technician · since March 2024

Nathan came to CCP from inside a client. He was a web developer at OEM Group, a CCP client, before joining the team in March 2024. A developer background is unusual in MSP land. When a client needs something custom stitched between systems, or a one-off tool to close a gap no product fills, Nathan builds it.

Mount Helena based. He keeps the code sharp alongside the day-to-day tech work. Having seen IT from the business side first, he tends to ask whether a thing is worth doing before he starts doing it.

Sam Bareng

IT technician · since May 2025

Sam came across from another Perth MSP, where he ran the helpdesk team. Five years there, hundreds of tickets a day, across non-profits, mining, medical, and a wider vertical mix than most MSPs touch. Second-MSP experience shows up fast: he reads a ticket quickly, has seen the recurring patterns, and knows where to look first.

Microsoft 365 depth is the specialism he brought with him. He describes the job the same way he always has: making IT understandable for whoever is on the other end of the ticket.

Mitchell Jones

IT technician · since February 2026

Mitchell came to CCP straight out of North Metropolitan TAFE. He holds a Diploma in IT majoring in cyber security and networking, with a Certificate IV in Cyber Security behind it. Before the study there was hospitality and retail to pay the bills, and earlier a stint tutoring kids in tech at Firetech.

He joined in February 2026 as an IT technician, on front-line tickets and the day-to-day support work. Security and networking are the direction he is keenest to push into. Customer-facing work at pace turns out to be decent training for a helpdesk.

Rafid Hasan

IT technician · since March 2026

Rafid came to CCP from frontline telco support. Internet faults, modem and Wi-Fi setups, and the tangled escalations that needed a senior engineer or the carrier. Time on a support queue that never stops teaches you to triage quickly and explain a fix in plain terms.

At CCP he works the helpdesk, taking first-line tickets and handling Microsoft 365. Cybersecurity and automation are where he is heading next. He is finishing a Bachelor of Information Technology at Curtin alongside the job.

Daffa Fathurohman

IT technician · since April 2026

Daffa came up through the hardware side: just over two years at PLE Computers, from the sales floor to system builder to shift manager. He assembled and diagnosed machines to a standard.

He moved from the workshop into service desk work, then joined CCP in April 2026. His work here is front-line: the incoming end of the helpdesk, ticketing, and day-to-day Microsoft 365 support.

Paul Totten

IT technician · since April 2026

Paul joined CCP in April 2026 after four and a half years at a national IT services firm. The last three of those he spent as a network consultant, designing and building networks for large customers. Routing, switching, VLANs and the rest of it. That depth is uncommon on a helpdesk. When a fault turns out to be the network and not the desktop, it gets diagnosed here instead of passed on.

He came to IT through customer service. Seven years on the phones at iiNet, then four years running IT support at Juniper Aged Care. He puts the customer-service half first, on the grounds that the technical half does not land without it. Cisco CCENT, and a Broadworks platform certification from the voice years.

Staff retention

We retain staff for the same reason we retain clients.

Tenure in Australian IT services is not the norm. Engineers move to the next shop on a two-year cycle. We run counter to that, deliberately. A longer-tenured engineer knows more clients, more environments, the quirks of an old Microsoft 365 tenant, and which vendor contact actually answers an email. That memory is what separates an MSP that feels like a partner from one that feels like a queue.

We hold staff the way we hold clients: straight about the work, paid fairly, not over-subscribed to accounts that don't fit. Nobody gets dragged into a sales cycle. It's just what stays true when nobody's watching.
