frank's history, briefly
After studying Managerial Sciences at Bradford University and serving the mandatory national service in the Dutch Army as ‘Sergeant Dekker’, I started my career in sales with Scantech in the Netherlands. In 1993 I moved back to the UK and ran the Scantech Northern European operations until 1997.
The emerging market for wireless and customer interaction terminals was the draw for my first venture : Visum, which I sold in 1999. I then joined Business Objects and became sales manager. In 2002 I began to apply my experience in software sales, the Dutch and English markets to help software companies establish themselves in the UK and Europe.
I obtained a Masters in Multimedia at Brunel University in 2005 and founded Quatre Mains to help Dutch businesses and ideas flourish in the UK.
Quatre Mains has grown to a successful management and investment company with investments in Technology and Customer Experience, seconded activities for the Netherlands British Chamber of Commerce and the Peninsula Festival.
