A bit about the owner...
When I started Plus Two in 1983, I knew very little about about running a business. What I did know was that we had a market for our multimedia services, so we got stuck into working very hard. We surprised ourselves - within a year we had two staff and were running out of space at our small office. Another year and we had five staff and had moved to larger premises.

It was 1989 when we moved again to a purpose-built office & studio facility. We'd just achieved sales of over £1m. By the late 1990's we had 30 staff, sales of £2.6m and various industry awards under our belt. But it wasn't all plain sailing. We'd been through many of the issues that confront the businesses I help today.

I learnt about business from being hands-on - and by study and training: Institute of Marketing, Reading University and by practicing NLP in the workplace. As Pablo Picasso said 'I like to do things I can't do, so I can find out how to do them'.

This wealth of business experience, combined with years of frontline consulting in west Wales, are just a small part of what I am able to offer when I work with clients today.

Over 25 years of hands-on, owner-managed business experience.

Presentias is owned and run by Managing Director, Gary Loch, who has been delivering business advice and internet services in Pembrokeshire since 2003. He is well qualified to do this. In 1983 he founded a successful multimedia production company. He grew the Slough-based firm to sales of £2.6 million and a staff of 30, before moving to Pembrokeshire in 1997 with wife Annie and his four young children.

In 2002, having grown tired of weekly commuting, Gary bid farewell to the firm he had started as a 25 year old. Under its new management the firm, Plus Two has relocated to London, from where it continues to provide multimedia production services for its blue-chip customer base.

Gary established Presentias in 2003.

Then, following a chance meeting with Rosemarie Griffith of Jay-Griffith Consulting, he was invited to work as a freelance business consultant. Rosemarie had secured the Welsh Development Agency’s ‘New Business’ contract. Over the next two years Gary helped with the formation of almost 40 new companies in west Wales. This was followed by work on the WDA’s ‘GSB’ programme, which provided business support to established companies in Wales.

Gary subsequently delivered his funded business advisory services through West Wales Consulting, which had taken over the now Welsh Assembly Government contracts. Gary continues to channel most of his WAG-funded business advice through West Wales Consulting.

Presentias is run from a home-based office.

Its overheads are therefore low, which means that fees for private work are very reasonable. The office is well set up with a desk, phone, a couple of computers and a slow but fairly reliable broadband connection. Such is life in rural west Wales!
