Bob Sheth is the CEO of MoveForward.com Limited. At the current age of 35 Bob has already gained a wealth of business and management experience specialising in the Internet. He has actively bought and sold equity stakes in various Internet ventures since the late nineties.
Bob’s working career started in 1997 shortly after graduating from Manchester University with an honours degree in Computer Science. In these early years of the web he saw a demand for Internet Marketing Services and started to fill it. He soon specialised in providing consultancy services on domain name strategies and was advising some large brand holders of FMCG organisations. Whilst consulting, he started to build his own portfolio of domain names. In 1999, Bob started to off load some of his valuable domain assets to build a capital reserve for the next stage of his business investment strategy. Selling names like d-i-y.com and freegifts.com provided enough capital for him to buy a controlling 51% stake in a London based web development agency called Access Communications.
From 2000 – 2005, as the Managing Director, Bob grew Access to have 13 full time employees in the UK with a service based turnover of nearly half a million pounds. He was directly responsible for sales that accumulated to over two million pounds during his time at Access. By 2005, the strategy at Access was very focused in delivering business to business solutions within the Print marketing sector. The company pioneered new e-procurement systems and had an impressive client list which included Marks & Spencer, Zurich Financial, BSM, RR Donnelley, The Ministry of Defence and The Scottish Parliament.
In 2005 Bob sold Access to the largest direct mail printer in the UK and worked for the new owners during a hand over period of 12 months.
After leaving Access, Bob was keen to return to his Internet Marketing roots and MoveForward.com Limited was born. Move Forward is a holding company for various Internet based ventures, which you can read more about here.
