The Team
Graham Bell - Chief Architect
Graham Bell wrote his first piece of software aged 14 while still at school. Ever since, he's been fascinated by the power of computers.
His first role, in corporate sales at Room Service - a meal delivery company - soon expanded when he created a database to track the company's sales leads and salesmen's activities. Having recognised the potential efficiencies brought by computers, when the company launched the UK's first residential Alcohol Delivery Service, Graham was asked to build a computerised stock management system. With the advent of the Internet, Graham helped the company develop a Website that handled some of the 600 orders/deliveries handled each day.
In 1997 Graham decided to pursue a full time IT career and joined a software house, NDL Ltd, as a developer. Clients included Halifax and Abbey, who's mortgage and insurance product information was loaded into NDL's system, which then made it available over the Internet to an army of Financial Advisers. Graham was quickly promoted to lead a small team of developers which, by the time he left to start Fasttrack IT, was 20 strong. At NDL Graham was responsible for some of the first online financial product application forms but, more notably, for producing a "white label" mortgage calculation engine which NDL licensed to numerous brokers generating licence fees for themselves and even more business for the institutions.
Graham founded Fasttrack I.T in 2000 with Shell as his first client.
