Episode 067: Interview with Darrin Salt

The Business Awards Show

Today's interview with Darrin Salt is brilliant for anyone looking to enter business awards. Darrin is both a judge and sponsor of the Best Businesswomen Awards. He has also won awards for his company, The Technologies Group, a leading provider of IT services and cyber-security to SMEs.

He started out as an employee in his business in 1989, but when the owner chose to retire, he was given the opportunity to buy the business in 2010. The business has gone from strength to strength under his leadership, as he has expanded the breadth of services offered to SMEs and larger customers. This year he is launching a cutting-edge new business services platform, VaVaVoom. His aim is to help entrepreneurs and employees work seamlessly in any remote location without worrying about security or file manaagement.

As one of our most experienced judges, Darrin's insights into how to produce the best awards entries is a must listen. He has also been a sponsor for seven years and explains why he is so passionate about the Best Businesswomen Awards.

Darrin has had his own successes in business awards, explaining why being a judge inspired him to go on his own journey.

This episode will also give you some valuable insights into the world of cyber-security and why it is so important for SMEs. It really isn't only large organisations who are targeted by cybercriminals.

This is a fascinating discussion for anyone thinking of entering any business awards, or who runs their own business and needs advice about cyber-security.
