Guy’s working career began in retail where he enjoyed an eleven-year stint in various managerial positions.

Following this, he followed his passion for anything technical and branched out on his own into the technical world. In 2001 he was a founding member and CEO of Cake Solutions Limited and over the next 16 years, he directly oversaw the development of the business from a small start-up to that of an international, multi-million-pound company respected as being at the cutting edge of engineering and process in the open-source software development world.

After being recognised in the Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50 and being viewed as one of the most unique, forward-thinking, and fast-growth companies in the industry Cake Solutions Limited was acquired by a multinational corporation and the business was subsequently rebranded as Disney Streaming Services, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a company owned by The Walt Disney Corporation.

As a creative & widely experienced individual with a keen focus on personal development, company culture, and process improvement, Guy is now able to turn his hand to various non-executive roles both in the commercial and voluntary sector. Guy is also the founder and non-exec at the startup factory.tech.

In addition to his working commitments, Guy dedicates time to charitable activities. For well over a decade he has worked with Variety - the Children's Charity in a number of voluntary roles, currently acting as the Chairman for the North West region.

Reece is the Founder of Social Plug, a social media agency helping to connect businesses with the right influencers - in order to drive traffic, sales and engagement.

We speak about how his time as a noted child actor made him question the existing influencer strategies of major brands; how he spotted a gap and used his spirit of entrepreneurship to turn it into something more; and why the advertising business is fundamentally changing into something much more targeted.

In today's episode, Guy dials in from a break in Ibiza to discuss the difference between UX and UI... UX is "User Experience" and UI is "User Interface".

Guy talks about why they are both so important in the modern digital world; whether entrepreneurs with SaaS companies should outsource the UX creation or use an existing platform, and why ignoring bad architecture or design could lead to perilous outcomes for a company.
