The Founders
Co-Founders Mark Hall, Chief Operating Officer and Adam Saunders, Chief Technical Offer, founded the company back in July of 2002. Previously, they had founded, grown and eventually sold a UK-based hosting company, OpenHosting Internet Solutions, which still continues to be a successful, profitable business today. Since then, the company has grown a talented team of support technicians and software developers based at our UK Headquarters and supported by a team of distributors and partners across the globe.
 
Mark Hall – Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer
Mark received a Bachelor of Science Honours degree in Software Engineering where he met and studied with his now co-founder Adam Saunders. While studying for their degrees Adam and Mark founded OpenHosting Internet Solutions (http://www.openhosting.co.uk/), a UK-based web-hosting company focused on personal and small business web site hosting. It was while working at OpenHosting that Adam and Mark conceived the company’s flag-ship product Helm.

More recently Mark has moved into the role of Chief Operating Officer and has overall responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the company and its products and services.
Adam Saunders – Co-Founder and Chief Technical Officer
Adam also received a Bachelor of Science Honours degree in Software Engineering and, after meeting and co-founding OpenHosting with Mark, went on to work on a number of software projects for financial institution in the UK. Adam’s flair for all things technical continues to drive our products and ensures that we’re always working with the latest and best technologies available.

As Chief Technical Officer, Adam is responsible for the company’s development and support activities and also still shares the day-to-day operations for the company with Mark.
