Hello, I'm Granger Forson, your anchor for ScaleUp Radio. For more about me, find me at www.bizsmart-gloucestershire.co.uk or on LinkedIn. In today's Podcast, we invite you on a voyage through the complex world of IT with a man who has devoted the better part of two decades to cybersecurity and tech support: Gildas Jones of Dial A Geek, Bristol's renowned IT managed service company.

Nearly 17 years ago, Gildas recognized the glaring gap in quality tech support for small businesses. With a steadfast commitment to top-notch service and a magical approach towards clients, his enterprise witnessed organic growth, emphasizing cybersecurity support and data governance. Over time, Dial A Geek emerged as a pillar of support for sectors such as recruitment and fast-growing start-ups, guiding them through the labyrinth of challenges in compliance.

From his business start-up while renovating houses to revolutionizing IT business models, Gildas's journey is both inspirational and instructive. As we delve deeper into the intricacies of managing cash flow, the pivotal role of positive company culture, the art of navigating the dynamic IT landscape, and the importance of having business coaches, Gildas's insights serve as a beacon for both emerging entrepreneurs and seasoned business owners.
