Richard, our principal consultant, has been in business since 1983. After a number of years in Accountancy, Richard entered the IT market working for a small Value Added Reseller of micro-computer hardware and software. Growing an IT business from inception, he was one of 5 founders that grew a small UK based company to become a global market leader in Telecoms billing, eventually selling the business to a FTSE quoted company for $100m in 2001. He then established a successful holiday property company in Cornwall before returning to the IT/Telecoms space in 2009, helping to grow a small company in Romania until it was acquired by a NASDAQ quoted company on 2017.
