Before CBS was formed, John built up his knowledge and experience working for various companies starting with heading the accounts department in a company employing over 100 staff when he was only 22.
John then worked in a direct marketing company running all of their admin functions and producing direct marketing campaigns for clients including Barnardo’s, Shelter, British Airways and the British Banking Association. Following this John worked for an insurance company and an insurance/mortgage brokerage specialising in arranging commercial finance. One of the clients he arranged commercial finance for asked if he could help them with their bookkeeping and accountancy. That was back in 1993 – and that client is still a client today.
Accountancy and bookkeeping continued to be a sideline with just a few clients until about 2003 when John decided to devote his time to it.
