Founded in 1996, Webmart has always been entirely self-funded and independent, with a focus on building trusting and cooperative relationships in the world of print – they consult on, buy and manage printing services and deliver printed products to customers.
By matching those in need of printing with underused presses across the nation, Simon showed an impressive ingenuity and insight in the world of business and, in his capacity as a business speaker, reveals to audiences how they too can help to further develop their businesses and spot gaps in the market.
Further demonstrating his business acumen and courage, Simon discusses how his initial investment of £10,000 of his own savings has led to the development of and ultimate annual turnover of more than £30m for Webmart.
Believing that you get out as much as you put in to any business, Simon provides his webmasters with as much training, mentoring and support as they require and rewards them with enviable profit shares.
Alongside this, Webmart shares its profits with the less fortunate through a charitable trust and set up a groundbreaking business school in Harar, Ethiopia, where Webmart employees mentor students.
