Bio
Gareth Davies
I spent an intense 4 months at Etisalat with Billy as we tirelessly worked on the implementation of their e-commerce journey and interface design & launch. It was a time of extreme pressure and challenges from all corners but Billy stood out as a focussed, skilled and passionate e-commerce professional who was open and excited about any new design and content opportunities myself and the team would present. We have now both gone on to run our own businesses and keep in touch to this day. I'm sure he will be very successful in his new venture!

I worked with Billy whilst at Jobwise Training and TBG Learning. Our biggest source of business came from Gumtree. As our account manager, Billy was instrumental in ensuring all our advertising campaigns worked effectively and produced the best return. Billy is professional, hardworking and always willing to help - providing new ideas and suggestions for new campaigns. I would have no hesitation in recommending Billy to work on behalf of any organisation.
