Overview of my life before technology
I was born the eldest of four children to my parents who were farmers running a mainly
arable farm with a large quantity of turkeys for the Christmas period and forced
(indoor) rhubarb during the winter months. Prior to leaving school weekends and holidays
would be spent working on the farm earning ‘pocket money’. After leaving school at

full time staff and many ‘seasonal workers’. I spent 3 years working with my father,
out of which 10 months was spent at agricultural college. I now decided it was time
to ‘plough my own furrow’ and became an agricultural contractor, supplying labour
only to local farmers. Three years later my father was forced into early retirement,

a local grower co-

This was basically an industrial unit in which we built a ‘shop front’ to service our business customers and the remainder of the unit was involved in assembly and packaging of the payphone cases.
As time progressed the portfolio expanded, mainly due to customer demand, initially
we added IT and networking, this was followed by CCTV and in a much smaller capacity
EPOS systems. After much research and R&D we have now added the TCM PABX -
