From a young age, I have been enterprising. In school, I would cut neighbours' grass and wash cars to provide myself with income. When I was 13 I started fixing computers, eventually building up a customer base which allowed me to employ two others. Fast forward to 2009, age 19, I decided to leave after my first year of University to establish a company.
My start-up journey was an intense lesson in building a company, and a team and serving a demanding customer base. In 2011 I decided to sell our B2C services to focus B2B as an IT Managed Service Provider. In 2014 I joined forces with a local telecoms provider which created excellent synergies as we had a similar customer profile. In 2015 we launched a unique bundled subscription service. I noticed a gap in the market for simplifying technology for SMEs, making it financially accessible and ensuring the latest tech is used to boost productivity in teams. This also enabled our customers to adopt a work-from-anywhere culture, something that came into its own in 2020 when Covid struck.
In 2018 I sold the company, joining a national IT provider and working in various roles within the group for the next 5 years.
