Justin has a passion for start up businesses and is currently involved in several companies. His business interests included buy to let properties, vehicle tracking, mobile telecoms and printing. Justin has jumped at the opportunity to get involved with the E-commerce Experiment with his other co-directors from Carrot Media.

He is the Technical Director at carrotmedia and is used to working with the latest technologies in order to maximise the potential of our software and systems. Chris has a passion for working with Ecommerce Clients and developing our ecommerce systems, so it made perfect sense for him to get involved with the E-commerce Experiment.
