Gareth Manger is a serial entrepreneur, business coach, investor and trainer. Graduating from University after studying business studies. Gareth fell straight into a job as a business manager for a small care agency growing the business from £250,000 to £2.5 million a year turnover business within 3 years. Thats the moment Gareth realised he could run a business himself!
In 2011, Gareth took a high interest in digital marketing and ended up buying into a mobile apps franchise, whilst still being in full time employment. The franchise cost £3997 and it was all the money he had. Gareth took a plunge into the unknown and had to run his business with limited resource and finances. Gareth is a day to day hustler and built his business the hard way by picking up the phone and knocking down doors! Gareth has a secret formula on how to gain new clients quickly which he teaches to new business start ups. This allowed Gareth to go part time on his business within 2 months and full time within 4 months. Gareth was the top franchisee within the organisation acquiring more clients than most franchisees combined. The founder of the franchise was impressed and asked Gareth for his support in assisting franchisees with their business.
Eventually, Gareth went into a partnership with Grant (the founder) of the business and set up additional products within the marketing agency such as websites, crm, social media marketing and consultancy. Following Gareth's straight forward, no nonsense approach to sales, the marketing agency grew quickly between 2014-2015 and acquired 100's of small business clients
In 2015, Gareth and Grant decided to launch a reseller partnership programme called BLAM! Websites & Apps to help create tech entrepreneurs. BLAM! has been super successful with over 200 partners joining from all around the world including the UK, Ireland, USA, South Africa and Australia. Gareth is now a highly respected business consultant advising and helping small businesses reach their goals and objectives. Gareth is always seeking new business opportunities to invest in to this day and has recently invested in the mobile gaming market.
