Tristan Clark - Technical Writer

Tristan has been immersed in technology on and off ever since he played around with an Amstrad at the age of four. After years of playing, making, and writing about video games, alongside a general interest in anything that goes 'blip' and has pretty buttons, he's now at Consumer as the main tech writer.

When not talking about ISPs, RAM, or HDMI outputs, he enjoys casual sports, tramping, reading, and other wonderfully low-tech activities.

Hamish Wilson - Testing Manager

Hamish has been working for Consumer forever. Well, at least longer than most of our staff can remember! He's tested old technology such as video recorders along with a steady stream of the latest washing machines, dishwashers, fridges, TVs and DVD recorders. It's the variety that keeps him here. There's always new technology to explore, or even to go exploring with. It can be entertaining following directions from car navigation systems through dead end streets.

Working with our sister consumer organisation Choice in Australia has also been a key part of his job. It all began with a test of home computers that ran on floppy disks. How quaint that seems now.
