Marcus De Storm
CEO/Director, Storm Multi-Media Technologies (International)
I am Marcus De Storm, CEO and Director of Storm Multi-Media Technologies (International). I am 43 years young, married with two beautiful six year old twin girls.
I live with my family in Walton, Wetherby, Leeds, which is very quiet and pretty much laid back. The residents here are great people, except for some who are very much set in their ways.
I have been between jobs since the age of sixteen, and my longest job was working with the Royal Mail in Leeds before everything went automated.
My most favoured job to date was CPS (Close Protection Security) working for Peter Constantine, and learning that "Bullet Catching" is a very pressured job.
Now that I have been able to start something that I have always wanted to do - Run my own business - my whole attitude towards the world has changed so much. In an uncertain world of recession, threats and other gloomy expectations, my hardest challenge will be to make the company successful...or die trying!
I am a great fan of writing,as I write myself (my forth novel is being written as I speak), and I think Horror, Thriller, Sci-Fi and Factual stories are the most exciting topics to read/write about.
I love films, the cinema and music as a whole, not as a part of life. I believe that music can influence people just as much as anything else in this world.
I love the world...just not everthing that is in it. I love the sun, when it shines and I love to get out and about where there are lots of people wearing happy smiles and not moping about with depression.
I hate wars that are for no cause, and I hate the political essence that flavours the fuel for wars for financial or personal gain.
I hate false friends, I hate arrogance, I hate those little black berries on pizza, and I hate all those that lie before telling us that we are "In this together...for the love of...for a better future".
1 contact2010 - 2011Overlooking the daily telephone calls, emails, order taking, advertising, packing, dispatching and end user/customer agreements. Ordered stock that arrives at the company is catelogued, priced and arranged in certain orders. Emquiries and Information on certain Products is attended to also.
Since October 2010, the running and managing of Storm Multi-Media Technologies has brought much to light, and has bettered myself as a Director by learning the many assorted routines that help me reach my aims, goals and abilities to serve the Customers that use the company for their online needs.
I have learned and become able to achieve many things, inclusing Talking to the General Public, Meet & Greet the Investors, the Contractors (Wholesale/Traders) of which supply the company with the Equipment and Goods that we are able to sell.
Preparing and Paying for everything that is involved in the Day To Day Business; Electricity, Telephone, Broadband, Water, Landlord and Suppliers.
What Storm Multi-Media Technologies has achieved over the past couple of months has been a lot more than I could have ever conceived, considering that the idea was small, and yet, in practice the Business has become so big for the real world of Retail.
Quick decision making has become a trait, almost, with the way in which the company has become under fire with other Traders that enquire and question the concept of our low prices compared to theirs. Wholesalers that are happy with the company and the concept of our pricing of their products, whereas others are unknown to be considered a low-key element in the vast range of companies that they have taken on.
I would definitely reccomend more small businesses start up and give the market a go, if only to say that they tried and that they had fun doing it.
