Started developing a few websites for suppliers and the company I was working for, during this time I got the opportunity to work for a sales & marketing company, after a number of years as general manager/sales manager I decided to pursue the idea of Createanet.
That was 15 years ago and I’m very proud of the company that we have developed and the work we do, which is down to the support of Fiona who puts up with me endlessly on my laptop/mobile & keeps the finances of the company on the straight and narrow and also the long standing team of highly individual and talented designers and developers.
