About Enterprise Design
Enterprise Design began as an idea while I sat drinking coffee during a break in voluntary work. It grew from the impression that it was a good idea, to the realisation that it was something that really needed to happen.
My working life was in the oil industry in Peterhead until, in the 1980’s, I found that I had a serious heart disorder. This came to light when I went to the doctor feeling unwell and had some tests, then six weeks later my brother died suddenly, and the post-mortem showed he had the same heart condition that I had. He was only 21 years old. My younger sister was tested and she was found to have the condition. So I changed my life style, and became a professional freelance photographer. This was not enough of a change however, and as my health deteriorated my doctor recommended that I stop full time work and claim Incapacity Benefit.
However, I decided that I needed to keep going and went to college where I studied for three years to gain my Higher National Diploma in Computing, and in the meantime I began working as a volunteer with a number of charities throughout Aberdeenshire where I began creating web sites for them and for friends of mine.

Over the years my health has improved due to better treatment, and meeting the love of my life, Flora, now my wife, who has helped me realise my hopes and ambitions.
In August 2006 I decided that I had to get back into full time work again and increased my voluntary work. Marina Lawlor who is the Disability Working Advisor at Fraserburgh Job Centre was a great help as she worked with me to find suitable employment. Ross Martin from Remploy Aberdeen was also supportive, and when they heard of my ideas for a business using my skills and experience, they supported me wholeheartedly. Business Gateway has been a source of information, advice and ideas and I would like to thank Roz Caudwell and Dave Percival in particular, for their help.
Enterprise Design continues to evolve and grow with new customers and features of service, hence this update to the web site in 2010.
