GET TO KNOW DAVID PORTER:
Any hidden talents, David?
I can juggle, but only three balls at a time. I’m really good at accents too, I actually spent my youth in theatre. David does an Irish accent “Right. So if you looked at Irish, that's quite easy to do. But then you can go like really Northern Irish, which is a little bit more harsh and even. Yeah, it's always difficult when I get put on the spot.”
What motivates you, David?
Growth. I would also say winning the next big deal. When I think about when we first started, we were charging £500 for a website. And, now we've recently won contracts that are worth tens of thousands of pounds. So to go from selling £500 sites to £60,000 sites, it's quite an exciting, big jump.
Best compliment you've received, David?
I got called Superman by Charlotte the other day. So, that’s all I see when I look in the mirror now.
What's one thing you're bad at, David?
Modesty.
To be honest, I'm all on, and I think I'm always looking at the next thing. Sometimes I need to be more in the moment and be more present where I'm at rather than constantly thinking about where I'm going to be.
Introvert or extrovert, David?
I'm a massive extrovert!
Best advice you've heard, David?
“If it is to be. It's up to me.” That's really stuck with me because if you want anything in life, it's ultimately down to you.
Favourite film, David?
Interstellar.
David's drink of choice?
Rusty Russian! IPA beers and whiskey.
