Sam started Broadband solutions with $1000 and a second hand router and a big vision for what the internet could do at a time when internet was very new.  He held important meetings in borrowed boardrooms as he and his business partner couldn’t afford a fancy office and were embarrassed to show these big companies where they really worked. The BBS business has a turnover of about $30 million per year with less than 30 staff. Broadband Solutions is continuously evolving its product offer and creating unique, proprietary software to offer its clients. Stepping down as CEO in March 2018 has allowed Sam to focus on the international expansion side of the business as well as investigating and creating new technologies within the business.
