Kevin Pinto

IT Manager

Kevin, based in our Epping office, joined Stace in 2017.

Many years ago, he made a bold career change from engineering, recognising that the UK’s engineering base was being steadily eroded. He began as a toolmaker and eventually became director of a company specialising in anodising and powder coating.

Later, Kevin transitioned into IT, becoming a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer and earning a BSc in Information Technology. He began working fully in IT in 2000, just after the infamous Y2K “end-of-the-world” non-event.

Today, Kevin is responsible for all things IT across the company, ensuring systems run smoothly and securely.

Beyond his passion for technology, Kevin is a self-confessed petrolhead.

He has also twice walked from Mons to the Marne, retracing the steps of the British Expeditionary Force in WWI with a group of friends, completing the journey in full period uniform, boots included—all in support of charity.
