I started my first business at 19 years of age, back in the day when it wasn’t fashionable to be an entrepreneur, especially at that age. I’ve been involved in every area of starting and growing businesses from planning, admin, technical, sales, marketing, HR, funding, equity pitches, preparing for a business sale and completing a business sale.Over the years I’ve started many businesses and mentored at Project Scotland, Strathclyde University, Entrepreneurial Spark and with private clients. I exited my long-term IT business in 2011 after selling to a UK telecoms PLC to embark on a new business and outsourcing journey.Blinkered Media was launched in March 2012 and provides marketing strategy and marketing services to help clients grow their business. www.blinkeredmedia.comIn 2015, WP Support Specialists launched, a one-stop-shop for all things WordPress. Services include WordPress support and maintenance, development, hosting, optimisation and emergency support. www.wpsupportspecialists.comIn 2017 I moved from Scotland to Spain to start a new chapter of life and adventure with my wife and kids. I continue to grow existing and start new location independent businesses whilst advising on many others.In 2021 I wrote Outsourcing For Success – How to Make the Most of Freelance Talent and Boost your Business, to help you get the most from the freelancer/gig economy.
