My name is Ryan McCarry. I'm a director of Sleek Networks. We're an internet hosting specialist provider. We provide the internet infrastructure that underpins a lot of highly available busy websites in the UK and abroad.
Sleek Networks started more than 2 years ago – we are in our third year of trading. We started, a group of guys, basically worked together and we weren't particularly happy with the big company we worked for. We put some money together and took the leap of faith really.
A successful business is one which is growing, has happy employees from the top to the bottom and keeps customers happy.
Our business is a 24 by 7 operation so everyone on our team has had nights where they’ve been up all night fixing solutions or building services so we make sure we make sure we meet our deadlines of delivering services the next day.
We've got to make sure we are working with companies that have a similar synergy with us. In the future we want to make sure that the business is healthy and successful and growing and we've got quite ambitious targets for what we want to achieve with the business and just make sure that we are doing job and carry that through everyday and develop the company.
Ryan, a director at Sleek Networks, is used to a 24/7 working environment as his internet hosting solutions require attention around the clock. He recognises that to run a successful and growing business, staff from top to bottom need to be happy as well as the clients they service.
