Founder & Chief Exec

Charles started his entrepreneurial life in 1996 with the forming of his first company Connect Direct Ltd.
Initially starting his trade as a micro electronic engineer, Charles found a niche for problem solving and excellent installations of structured cabling, servers, computer sales, and fault finding for big companies, and militaries around the world.

2008 - Vault 247- Charles obtained the lease for the old Joint Operations Centre (J.O.C) inside Admiralty Tunnel which prior to Vault 247 ownerships was used to house over 200 personal for various conflicts and operations globally. This included ‘Operation Torch’ 1942 conducted by the then know General Dwight Eisenhower which was the invasion of North Africa during the second world war.
Charles had a vision of creating the first data centre to be encased within 450+ meters of limestone ensure security at unparalleled levels compared to others.
The venture was a success and was eventually sold to Continent 8 in 2011.

2012 - After being semi retired for a year Charles was dragged into his next venture near Technologies (Gibraltar).

near Technologies (Gibraltar) Ltd. was founded in 2012 initially only supplying Information Technology services. As our name and business grew we began the need to start selling equipment with services.
Our clients have ranged from huge corporations and banks to governments to local small shops and small offices.
