Matchmaker. Dealmaker. Networker. Chairman of Ecademy. Non-Executive Director of entrepreneurial start-ups. Phone me on +447976438285 anytime to arrange a meeting.
Founded 10 years ago in February 1998 Ecademy, the oldest Social (Business) Network with over 400,000 unique users each month and built without venture capital.

Penny Power and I have personally met 10,000 of our members travelling to 50 countries with our 3 children (Hannah, Ross & TJ) since 1998.
These meetings are one reason why Ecademy has such a solid foundation and is unaffected by new Social Network start-ups regardless of their size, scale or capital base. I recommend that all our members use Linkedin and Facebook every day also although I remain sceptical if Facebook is anything more than MSN 2.0.
Ecademy is known as the Rolls-Royce of Business Networking the world over. It is still far in advance of Linkedin and Facebook my favourite other two.
Ecademy is about intimacy, privacy, trust, friendship and support in small groups across the world.
There are 500 Ecademy meetings a month around the world typically of around 5 to 20 people. Over 20,000 Ecademy face to face meetings have take place worldwide since 1998.
10,000 new members join each month entirely through word of mouth.
60% of our members are self employed and the average age is 45-54,
Penny, Glenn and me are 44.
We are aiming for 10 million members by 2050 a huge challenge from the current 400,000 users we have right now.
We build slowly, gently and reliably making continuous small improvements each and every day much like Toyota with Lexus and Scion.
Ecademy operates a Network Business Model. It's like an Ecosystem with its own economy inside just like ebay. This is known as Bionomics see Michael Rothschild's book of the same name 1990.
Penny and me hope to meet YOU one day.
