checkSURE Appoints Managing Director

checkSURE is pleased to announce the appointment of Robert Mason as Managing Director.

Rob has been involved with the marketing strategy behind checkSURE since its launch through his ownership of the highly successful internet communications agency Netcam. The Netcam team have devised and implemented checkSURE's eCommunication activities and have helped checkSURE attract more than a quarter of a million visitors in its first year.

Rob has been associated with Internet based projects since the Internet first became a feature of commercial life in the UK in 1994. After two years of early website work he established Netcam in 1996, initially as a technology interest alongside other activities but increasingly as a small but highly focussed company working with a small number of corporate clients to improve their visibility on the web.

On becoming a shareholder and member of the checkSURE Board and executive team Rob said: "checkSURE is a fresh idea with a great purpose. Any manager of a small medium enterprise will appreciate a growing requirement to choose who they do business with. The quality and quantity of the data that checkSURE provides is only matched by its accuracy. The functionality of the checkSURE eCommerce platform is as easy to describe and demonstrate as it is to use. Our aim now for checkSURE is to make it the de facto risk management and company information destination for UK SMEs. It's a wonderful challenge."

Commenting on Rob's appointment, checkSURE CEO and co-founder Gary Ling noted, "Launching a new business is always tough, especially when the economic environment is one of the roughest in living memory as it was in 2001/02. Rob's experience in mentoring me through these exciting times resulted in the logical step of him playing a much more formal role in the development of checkSURE. His hands on approach and leadership qualities mean that after our successful first year, checkSURE's future development will be even more focused and determined".
