Businesses get Expert Advice from Blur Guitarist

Blur guitarist and cheese maker Alex James is calling on businesses in the south east to keep growing – by investing in technology.

O2 Business today launched products and free expertise from O2 Gurus for small business owners , under a £20m investment to help British businesses go digital.

To mark the launch, O2 has shown one of the country’s best known small businesses– the cheese business of Blur bassist Alex James – ways to help take the hassle out of technology.

The launch follows new research from O2 Business which reveals that while over two thirds (70 percent) of small business owners in south east appreciate ‘techpertise’ can make their business more efficient and successful, the majority feel they lack the time, money and understanding to make the most of technology.

With 63 per cent stating that tech solutions are often too expensive and present a barrier to business growth , more than half (62 percent) admitted to searching online for help.

To show how free help is at your fingertips, O2 Business sent an O2 Guru to Alex James’ farm to help him and his team work smarter from both the office and the top of a cherry picker.
