A LIFE-CHANGING MOMENT 2005
I had to leave a well-paid job due to a recurring back injury after a serious fall, so now Airspotters.com has become my full-time job, and it is something I can do. My staff is my family and friends. My wife is my best work colleague and takes an active role in helping run Airspotters.com. She is hoping soon to leave her 9-5 job and come onboard full time. I would like to pay tribute to her support in this venture -- she has been a diamond, as they say. It has not been all plain sailing of course. We have encountered a few hiccups along the way as with most ventures, but we feel we are getting somewhere. As a friend said to me, “You got off the runway and now the long haul flight is about to begin; but remember to enjoy the scenery on the way and it is not all straight flying either….” ADDED 2010
We used to work from home but not anymore in 2009 we moved to our new premises and have never looked back. picking stock from proper warehouse shelves is so much better then scrabbling around in boxes in the back bedroom. Having a proper desk and carpeted office is so much better then the alcove in the bedroom. And most importantly to be able to let customers pop in and see us here and browse and buy and have a chat is too much nicer. And we got help now as well Safestore staff are happy to help and we have other family members now actively taking a role in progressing our business forward. ADDED IN 2013 Peter came on board in April 2013 after a lifetime companies with top companies like Corgi. He was working for my supplier for many years and then decided to join me after the supplier moved location. The first few months have been exciting and Peter has added that special something that i lacked. Customer have endorsed his involvement into the business. ADDED IN APRIL 2014 A year has passed and Peter is at the forefront of Airpsotters.com, we have grown the business by nearly 30% in that time. Peter had his first Christmas which even he said was far busier then he had expected. This year we are expanding into bigger and better ranges and adding most up to date software to our site to help you shop better. ADDED AUGUST 2014 In the next few months, the website will become faster and more mobile compatible as we keep up with advances made on the internet. Our social media audience grows at a fast rate of 1500 new people every week that find Airspotters.com for the first time. 2014 is an exciting time we already been involved with filming with Northamptonshire county council with GNU Films and there is more film work in the pipeline hopefully.
