Howard started his career as a sound engineer with the BBC where he ultimately managed a multi-million pound IT budget. This sparked an interest to set up on his own and formed PHJ Solutions in 1996 which grew rapidly into a successful IT support and consultancy business.
Despite landing a number of large blue chip clients, Howard’s vision was to excel as an SME and to serve other SMEs who often lacked the resources or skills of large corporate departments, but for whom reliable and flexible IT solutions were still critically important. Having built a strong client base in this area, he took a decision to relaunch as Key Insite in 2012, with a new direction and company philosophy more reflective of his client base and the ever changing IT landscape.
When he’s not running the company or being hands on with clients he’s most likely to be found thinking about driving fast cars and boats while working on his next DIY project.
