  • 1995 - 1999

  I joined Care Computers at it's inception. There were four people at the business when it launched from a small single office with a £5000 overdraft, one telephone line and a fax machine. Our market was in providing rapid response IT spares and systems to the UK Maintenance industry. This required building a database of suppliers and co-ordinating logistics to ensure parts arrived on time every time. Through hard work, long hours and determination we became preferred suppliers to the top ten UK Maintenance companies and turned over £2.5M in the first year. The business grew and incorporated Uk Insurance claims management where we acted as a claims management function for IT related claims in domestic and commercial cases. At it's height, Care Computers was turning over £4.7M and had the top seven UK Insurers as clients. My role within the business incorporated Sales, Marketing, Web development, Business process management and technical services.
