I’m now working with an organisation called NStar who are here in the North East, to raise external finance. I’d like to raise enough finance to enable us to employ dedicated sales people and probably two customer support people, and that will help us to grow much faster than we could have done.

At the moment we’re resource-bound. I’m the only one who does any selling and I can only see so many customers. There’s probably three quarters of colleges in the UK and nine tenths of local authorities that have never even had a call from us yet. If I had more people I could do more.

Ultimately I want to sell the company in three or four years, and start another business in the education market. There’s a buzz to creating something new and taking things forward. I’d like to be a serial entrepreneur, and enjoy the process of doing that.
