Mid 2002 Grant was
researching the origins of the internet and the direction
this was currently taking. Late 2002 Grant established
a small firm in conjunction with two partners providing
advertising space on behalf of other websites whilst
maintaining his banking career.
Having viewed the business potential of the internet
Grant continued his consideration of the future and
purchased the domain businessparc.com along with a
small number of complimentary domains with a view
to having his own search engine that would be more
user-friendly and aimed at the business market.
His idea was to position Businessparc.com
as the best business search engine and become the
engine of choice for professionals.
In the early stages of development Grant
was in conversation with Trevor Cryer a close friend
and MD of Web Geek Enterprises. Trevor did not see
the value of yet another search engine and questioned
the entire concept. He suggested a twist to the concept
to allow businesses the opportunity to bid for business
from users.
This was a pivotal moment and changed the
direction of Businessparc. Grant took Trevor’s
input into consideration and merged it with his original
concept to create the Businessparc.com proposition.
Businessparc.com now offers users the ability
to search the internet, search a directory, post projects
for bidding, send a single enquiry to all relevant
providers, gain email accounts “”,
and obtain hosting facilities.
This is just the beginning, if you like what
you see so far; just wait for the next phase!
