He was responsible for the IT sector within the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, but he had no specific expertise of coding for postcodes and so on. He came from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and had no connection to Mr. Griffin's Department.
Obviously that was a skill set that was available. If one went down to Sir John Rogerson's Quay, one would probably find thousands of people with that skill set, yet the position was still not advertised.
