Hi, I’m Granger Forson – find me at www.bizsmart-gloucestershire.co.uk or connect with me on LinkedIn. In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, I’m joined by Kevin Pope, the dynamic Managing Director of Protrack Solutions and Biostart Security.

Kevin’s story begins with a military mindset and a knack for spotting opportunity. After leaving the army, he entered the world of telematics and soon saw a gap he just had to fill. That leap of faith led to Protrack – a vehicle and fleet tracking business that’s now an innovation leader in compliance apps and software integration for businesses across the UK.

What stands out in Kevin’s journey is his relentless problem-solving spirit. From creating barcode-based vehicle safety checks to pioneering job scheduling and compliance management apps, his company helps clients save time, money and stress. Their standout system, OneCore Software (OCS), brings simplicity and centralisation to what’s often a fragmented operational nightmare.

But Kevin didn’t stop there. Enter Biostart – a biometric vehicle ignition and security system that stops theft before it even happens. This bold move, supported by over £1 million in smart funding, is set to disrupt the fleet management industry with its Fathom-approved, patent-protected innovation.

Through it all, Kevin has stayed true to his values: loyalty, camaraderie, and looking after his people. Whether it's unlimited holidays, flexible hours, or just asking, “What am I doing wrong?”, his leadership is as people-focused as it is pioneering.
