Started programming back in 1978 using pencils and card – which led to computer science at university.
After a period of systems management for Sedgwick and Lillywhites, I joined a solutions company selling networking systems to corporates like GCHQ and Jacob’s Bakery.
Joined MESH Computers Plc in 1994 as the Head of Marketing with company revenues of $8m – and left in 2003 when annual revenues were close to $100m.
