UnIte launches new IT business in Sheffield
At the grand old age of 18, Adam Bradford, Director of UnITe and techmesh member successfully launched his business in Sheffield at Sparks Restaurant, Sheffield City College.
Adam, who is 18, is a former winner of Sheffield City Council’s BiG Challenge enterprise competition and is currently completing a one-year BTEC Diploma in Enterprise and Entrepreneurship at the Academy, launched with Government backing by Peter Jones of Dragons Den fame.
His new company, called UnITe, provides IT training and support and software development services to businesses. The launch event featured presentations from young entrepreneurs at the National Enterprise Academy showcasing their work and the UK’s first 14-19 Young Entrepreneurs Club.
Amongst his portfolio Adam is an accredited Microsoft Office Specialist and has extensive experience and qualifications in IT and Technology usage and deployment. These range from a British Computer Society qualification in digital media production and digital marketing through to traditional IT qualifications and systems development experience.
The evening proved to be a reunion aswell – guest speaker with established business; ‘Reggae Reggae’ sauce entrepreneur Levi Roots, shared his own experiences and ambitious plans of his expansion to the USA at the event. Adam and Levi met in 2007, when Adam won the Big Challenge Award.
Adam Bradford Director of UnITe comments; “I am very keen to promote young people and inspire them to achieve their potential and overcome barriers. I have Asperger Syndrome, a form of autism, but I don’t let that stop me from achieving, and am very passionate about enterprise.
The launch event was a great success and Levi Roots is a great inspiration of mine, it was fantastic that he could attend and contributed so fantastically to the evening. The event not only marked the beginning of my business’ life, it also provided inspiration to future aspiring entrepreneurs starting up from a young age.”
techmesh Business Development Manager Helen Silverman comments; “The launch was a great success, it was both inspirational and informative and techmesh were pleased to support Adam and be involved. Adam and his fellow entrepreneurs provide great testaments to the kinds of entrepreneurial talent we have in our region”.
