I used to be a full time adventurer and part time technology buff, now the roles are reversed!

I spent 10 wonderful years working as a freelance outdoor instructor for Outward Bound, Raleigh International and World Challenge. I was lucky enough to lead walking, climbing, and sea kayaking expeditions in Europe, Africa and South America.

After a decade of excitement, my interest in technology slowly took over. Once you have been threatened at gun point, had your arm trapped by rock fall whilst solo climbing, and temporarily lost 4 of your group during a major earthquake the quiet life starts to look attractive!

I have been working with computers since the age of 8. Initially programming for fun, at 14 I went on to win the Sunday Times Computer Brain competition for a school project that with the help of an analogue to digital converter turned our school’s computer into a useful aid in speech therapy. Pupils with hearing impairments could play computer games, controlling their character with “correct” speech patterns.

This led to an approach by Microdeal to write computer games for the ZX Spectrum, which I did whilst still at school.

At 17 I was bitten by the adventure bug, and embarked on ten thrilling years as an outdoor instructor and expedition leader. Working for Outward Bound, Raleigh International and World Challenge I led trips in Scotland, France, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Brazil and Malawi, visiting some truly stunning locations. During this time, I also completed a management degree at Sheffield.

I started my first online marketing project in 1997 promoting a travel company called Excellent Adventures that I ran with another ex-Outward Bound  colleague. I established webbactivemedia.co.uk a web development company in 2002, and Search Engine Friendly Hosting a niche domain name and web hosting business in 2007.

I have worked with a range of clients to deliver real results from online marketing, including Eclipse Global Events, Impact Development Training, First Mortgage Consultancy, The Social Network Company, Breanish Tweed, Active Training, Walkabout Scotland and Heart of Scotland Tours.

I get involved at the strategic level, working out detailed plans focused clearly on business objectives. I have a team of trusted partners that can action the plans or clients are free to use their own in house resources, or outsource the work as they see fit.

Social responsibility

I sponsor the web site of ethical water company "FRANK", providing hosting, technical expertise, and practical help. Frank sell bottled water in the UK on a "not for profit" basis with all profit going to fund clean water projects in developing countries. As part of this commitment, I recently travelled to India to see the completion of the first Frank sponsored clean water plant.

I also do the same for the Forces Children’s Trust, a charity “devoted to working together to help children in need whose father or mother has died, or has been seriously injured, whilst serving as a member of the British Armed Forces.” My commitment also goes further than helping with their online presence. In 2004 I was part of a team that kayaked from Scotland to Ireland to raise awareness and money for the charity.

With full involvement from the start on this project we were able to ensure that a comprehensive strategy was applied, and we had full control over site development. This has led to some impressive results including No.1 ranking on Google for keyword "briefcase" and month on month growth in sales of 250%.

Customer reviews - love them, but don't trust them!
It's a well known maxim of marketing that you can't beat "word of mouth" as a way to spread your message. The reason is that we tend to trust the word of another, even when we don't actually know that person very well. But should we be so trusting?
