It all started with a server, sitting on the floor in a small basement flat in Ladbroke Grove, West London...
In the summer of 2005, Simon Morley was fresh from a Mechanical Engineering degree, and considering his career options. Just by chance, his local café asked if he could provide affordable, timed Internet access. Digging around, it seemed that only large companies were providing this kind of service...but they were expensive and inflexible (and boring).
And so PolkaSpots was born. Simon gained a new flatmate - a single server in a massive box, humming relentlessly away 24/7...no sleep without earplugs, no room in the kitchen, and electricity bills going through the roof.
The first mail-shot saw lots of companies sign-up, and PolkaSpots' customer-focused, personal service continued to attract new business. A year later, Simon was joined by Web Ninja, Michael Speechley who's helped grow the company from just 30 Wireless Hotspots to about a million.
There are now 5 of us - we still work in Ladbroke Grove (albeit in a slightly different office) and we're still listening to our customers.
