I'd love to hear about your history in the biz, if you don't want to post it here thats cool. Even just an email with a few examples of the things you've ran in the past
Outstanding stuff ! |
It's a small world
Everybody seems to end up at the same watering hole at some time or other.
I did much the same as DS to start off - basically mail marketing - we did a few co-deals on stuff and I bulk bought the back covers of all his mags for years for full page colour ads. With other partners we did everything from "dildo manufacturing", film/video processing labs, audiotext biz (phonesex), manufacturing "nothing" lingerie, got a number of "sex shops" running, a party plan operation with about 1800 agents (sold that and it is part of what is known as Ann Summers now) - kinda done more or less everything related to the adult biz
In between I developed all the data processing and control systems to run that stuff - basically programming - so when the net came along it was kinda natural to extend into net trading.
Now it's heavily into real estate - takes less work and automatic annual capital increases - nice to get a rest!!!
