With over 30 years experience in the IT industry and having built and run many small companies I am always happy to pass on the experience and knowledge I have gained to others in the work that I do. If I can help you get online or into business - please contact me

Born in 1952,  the only son of an Army Warrant Officer I learned from an early age how to be independent and resourceful. At times coping with situations most people would have not had to deal with in foreign parts and often difficult circumstances. The result is an uncompromising manner that is sometimes hard even for me to manage, but which also means I have a strong will to survive and although tempered now by years of experience, a strong desire to succeed..

Working from the age of 15 and being in managerial positions in the Air and Road Freight industry I became a top salesman in the the National Freight Corporation and also became highly skilled in administration and logistics of Air and Road operations. I took time during these years to travel the world, learned to be a Chef on the passenger liners (where Prescott was the Shop Steward) and also ran an Oxford Street Personnel Recruitment Agency until I became married at 23 years old and shortly after that a redundancy pushed me into Self Employment

Having been self employed for the majority of my working life I have enjoyed the challenge of building and running dozens of businesses in many areas, mostly but definitely not exclusively in the IT Sector. A blooming career running an IT Management consultancy and a C-based software house was interrupted by the recession which forced a retrench and resulted in a three year sojourn to run an irish pub in the mountains of Germany which ultimately gave me fresh insights into business management and when I returned to the UK around 1994 I turned to IT retail to further my ambitions in Computing.

Since then having had 3 computer retail stores and an internet Cafe or two as well as running a Wifi Hotspot company and web design studio and an Ink remanufacturing company [nearly all at the same time]  I have since reduced all my challenges down to just two or three and am now concentrating on a more relaxed approach to doing business.

With a well rounded experience in all types of situations dealing with business issues good, and bad I have nonetheless managed to keep a steady balance and maintain a forward looking perspective in most situations that I have been involved with. Hopefully as I further develop my role with other businesses in a B2B environment I will be able to assist other newstart and small business come to grips with issues that plague us all.
