Your website is the window to your business that people can view from all over the world.

But are you doing justice to the amount of stock you could be featuring on there?

In this episode we hear from Matthew Fuller, the owner of My Blue Apple. His journey to becoming the owner of this tech company is a long and winding road - full of chance happenings, what seemed like bad luck and good fortune.

In this episode Ben finds out:

* How he started out in sales, but not in the furniture business

* But, as all the best ideas start, it was over a pint he decided to get into the trade

* And it was soon decided that he would get into antique pine

* Fast forward a few year and pine fell out of favour

* Which led to dealing in kitchens

* How the 2008 crash had a huge impact on him and the business

* But in 2009 he concentrated on the web and his fortunes changed again

* A move to Hong Kong meant that he had to move the business out there

* Then came along Google shopping

* He returned to the UK when his child came along

* He then got into data scraping

* Which then meant a move to Spain!

* However, after one of his main suppliers pulled the plug, he returned to the UK again

* On a chance trip past his old furniture store, another landmark moment occurred
