Article Summary

  • Undeterred by the failure of his first business venture, Kevin got back on the horse, supported by personal credit cards, and set up Techbuyer to recycle and upgrade IT hardware for businesses.

  • Kevin explains that 14 years on, he now believes his most important job within Techbuyer is maintaining a good culture, which has been a challenge as the business has grown.
