Biographies

Alistair Campbell has over 10 year's commercial experience of web development and internet marketing. His new business WebEnergy works in a completely different way from conventional web development agencies. WebEnergy is completely independent and objective in its approach. It does not have any pre-determined solutions to sell.

The company matches its client's requirements to the most appropriate supplier and technology, meaning that web projects can be delivered irrespective of budget or size. Web Energy clients no longer have to worry about choosing the wrong supplier or web partner. Web Energy basically acts as its clients' internet director, bringing them skills, knowledge and experience that they currently do not have.

Alistair was previously Managing Director of Parallel 56 Limited web development and internet marketing agency, which grew to £1.4m turnover and 24 employees from 2000 - 2006. He was subsequently a Director of Conkerhouse Limited formed out of the majority shareholding acquisition of Run Deep Limited, Edinburgh in 2006 creating £2m+ T/O business. Alistair left Conkerhouse in February 2007 to form his new web business.

Scott has been in the business of building and developing service-driven companies for over twenty years. In the early part of his career, he was General Manager of Bill Fleming's chain of Tower Book Stores and established the business from scratch, ensuring that the brand became a major player in the industry virtually overnight.  He also established Children's Choice Publications, a Scottish publishing house specialising in children's fiction.  Scott developed the business both UK-wide and internationally, securing publishing rights in eleven countries worldwide.

Scott has worked in marketing communications for over twelve years and during that time has worked with numerous high profile clients, including National Australia Group, Kwik Fit, Abbey National, Parcel Force, Clerical Medical, Odeon Cinemas, Jurys Hotels, Salon Services, Historic Scotland, Optical Express  and Which?

He launched Voltage in 2005 to deliver a niche service which had previously been lacking in the marketing industry.  Having recognised that what many clients needed was not simply creative expertise but actually well-rounded marketing solutions to business challenges, Scott brought together a team of highly experienced individuals who are able to bring brands and marketing to life.

Voltage helps its clients' businesses to develop and grow by blending brand marketing strategy, creativity and professionalism with genuine commercial understanding.  From initial start-ups to multinationals, the company's integrated approach assures continuity of brand at every stage. Voltage covers the entire creative spectrum, from brand strategy and concepts to production and can marry this with online marketing and strategic auditing of a client's current market position if the brief requires. The company's public relations team works at local, national and international levels for a range of consumer, corporate and trade clients and there is also a dedicated events management resource for handling small or large scale events.

With a client base which is drawn mainly from outwith Scotland, Voltage gains the majority of its new clients on recommendation and is gaining a growing reputation in both London and internationally for the quality of its work and its approach to business.  The company has doubled in turnover in the past twelve months and is enjoying strong and consistent growth.

Having come from a police background of Serious Crime Squad and predominantly CID training, Ian Kerr formed ID Inquiries in September 1990.  

Through quality investigation, ID Inquiries grew organically.
ID Inquiries does not only recruit its Investigators from police backgrounds. The current team can offer specialised knowledge of Customs and Excise, DSS Fraud Investigation and Military Intelligence.
