Meet the Purple Army

Jay is a serial entrepreneur who launched his first tech company at 21, scaled it successfully, and exited by 34. After some time recharging in Cyprus, he returned to the UK with a clear mission: to build an innovative tech business that brings IT and Communications together, with a team that shares in its success through an EMI scheme. Jay leads the company’s acquisitions strategy and has a strong focus on sales and technology. A self-confessed AI geek, he’s often found building bots and exploring the latest in artificial intelligence. Outside of work, Jay is a property investor, a certified Divemaster, and a proud husband and dad to two daughters, Macey and Rosie. In classic Jay style, the family dog is named “Dave” after the company’s finance director.

Malcolm, an experienced Managing Director, has held key leadership roles, including Operation Director and Service Director, within a thriving 100-million-Pound business. He notably led a 15-member team during the Rona sailing project. In business, his mantra is 'standardise, simplify, and automate.' Malcolm's commitment to professional growth is evident through his completion of numerous management courses, including '7 Habits of Highly Effective Leaders,' IPECS Technical training, and Customer Service NVQ level 3/4. He also holds a Business Leadership NVQ Level 4 certification. Out of hours, Malcolm has a season ticket with Charlton Athletic and travel with his family abroad.

Our FD Dave spent the first ten years of his career working at a multi-national accountancy firm, where he qualified as an ICAEW accountant, followed by a boutique corporate finance advisory firm specialising in the ICT & Telecoms sector. In the latter role, Dave worked closely with owner-managed businesses, assisting in strategic reviews, raising investment and selling their businesses. When not in front of a spreadsheet, Dave's a foodie and self confessed coffee snob, making his way around the many Chester food spots with his wife Sarah. Their weekends typically revolve around Peak Sandwiches, Formula 1 and their two cats Jay and Rosie - one of which is named after our CEO (yes...really)
