Colin Richardson, Managing Director Colin formed on365 (known as Universal Power Systems until November 2007) in 1984 to meet the growing user demand for UPSs to be supplied with higher levels of pre and post sales support. Starting with just two employees, it became one of the first companies to meet this demand for continuity of support. In the first year turnover exceeded ?100K and has steadily grown since then. Prior to this Colin had worked for the BBC, Loughborough Consultancy, the commercial arm of Loughborough University and Gould Inc, a major US-based UPS supplier. . |
