Talman boasts a team of committed, talented and loyal professionals.

Our MD, Peter Metcalf, is one of the original Talman directors. Many of our support staff and analyst/programmers have been in the wool industry 10 years or more.

At Talman, our programming and support staff are the people who market and sell our systems. This means we don't make promises we can't keep.
