I'm the Commercial Director of SEO Next.
At Staffordshire University I studied Law
at postgraduate level and also degree level.
SEO Next is a search engine optimization company. What we do
is optimize websites and get them moving up the Google rankings naturally.
We've launched offices in the US
Delhi and are also about to launch in Sydney.
My day-to-day role involves overseeing the operations that are trying to
recruit new clients and also kind of multitasking and helping with the
whole operation.
Going to Staffordshire University certainly game me the confidence and certainly
the knowledge to be able to run a business for myself.
The skills I picked up from a law degree, business skills, legal skills, now are
invaluable to me in my day-to-day work.
What was very apparent from the outset was that the people who were the lecturers
where either businesspeople or professionals in their industry.
You don't just get somebody reading from a textbook, you're getting practical experience,
which, for me, is very important.
And the admin staff and the course leaders were always there
whether it was on the phone or in person to help you and support you. It's a great place
to meet new friends, to develop yourself as a person,
and to launch yourself a business career or whatever else that you want to do.
Our aspiration for SEO Next is to be the number one "go-to" SEO company in
the country. Going to Staffordshire University has given me the kick-start
I needed to lauch, first of all, a career
and secondly to launch a company now which is actually going global.
