Prior to the dot com crash I was Global Head of Sales concentrating on eCommerce software. After the crash I ran the dedicated server business within NTWebhost and PowerHost. Both businesses were successfully sold to Tollon Ltd in December 2002 and I went as part of the deal. I was Managing Director of Tollon for two years and oversaw all aspects of the hosting business from domain name registration and hosting through to broadband and software development. I sat on a round table forum at Microsoft's first ever UK Hosting event and worked closely with Microsoft whilst we adopted their SPLA licencing model. Having served my time at Tollon I left and came back to Fibranet Services Ltd.

At Fibranet we are currently working on the launch of two new businesses and are continually adding new features, products and services to Freeparking. In 2006 Freeparking became an ICANN accredited domain registrar and this has helped increase Freeparking's profile both nationally and internationally.

I've recently launched a business club - Business Mentors Club - www.businessmentorsclub.com - aimed at business people where they can come and get help and advice about their business and actually work ON their businesses. This is just a hobby really; I'm passionate about helping people and this is my way of giving something back.

Prior to my Internet business life I was a stockbroker in the City for just over sixteen years. I began on the floor of the Stock Exchange and in 1983, at seventeen, I was the youngest dealer on the floor. I saw huge changes during my career, from Big Bang in 1986 through to the introduction of electronic trading in the late 90s. The last firm I worked for in the City was Cantor Fitzgerald International where I helped introduce their e-Speed business, a new electronic trading platform which the market makers used to enter their own prices into Cantor’s systems. It was the first of its kind.

I have over twenty six years experience in business, well developed interpersonal skills and a proven background in developing and maintaining business relationships at the highest levels. I am self motivated, highly positive and a good team player. I am honest and still follow the Stock Exchange’s motto; “Dictum Meum Pactum”: my word is my bond.
