Building Apps & Digital Security
PCA Predict (formerly Postcode Anywhere)
Life is full of challenges. Deciding what to do is the easy part, whilst getting up and making it happen is what separates those who are successful in life from those who just make up the numbers. There is a place for all types on this planet, however, I personally feel that the real excitement of living a life where you are making things happen is that you never know what opportunities you will uncover. That’s what gets me out of bed in the morning, which lights my fire or floats my boat. If you are interested in hearing what life is like in the land of the entrepreneur – come and hear my presentation.

Started in 2014, the No Q app is the best way to order coffee on the go. Order: Place your order at one of our high quality local coffee shops within the application and pay online. Stuff in the background: We detect when you get close to the coffee shop and notify your barista to prepare everything. Enjoy: Pick up your coffee and get drinking!
