I’ve spent my career building online businesses and have held board level technical and commercial roles at private and publicly listed companies. Prior to founding Pootlepress, I was Managing Director of Pavilion Publishing Ltd and before that Chief Technical Officer of Documedia PLC. I’ve trained over 5000 people on WordPress in the past 10 years, and Pootlepress WordPress plugins are used by thousands of customers worldwide. For the past 3 years I’ve grown my YouTube channel to over 100,000 subscribers and also offer YouTube consultancy for brands looking to level up their video content.

WordPress Origin Story

I started using WordPress 17 years ago when I ran a publishing company and we were looking to upgrade our CMS.
