Jamie Eykyn

Vice Chairman of the Board

Jamie has been a significant investor in Site Intelligence since the Company was created and was invited to join the Board as Chairman in 2007. Following the Company’s restructuring in 2010, Jamie relinquished his role and is now Vice Chairman.

Jamie served his National Service in the Grenadier Guards and then joined Spicer & Pegler, one of the constituent firms that is now part of Deloittes. Having qualified as  a Chartered Accountant he left the City to go into industry. Jamie rose to become Joint Managing Director of Mycalex which had a number of subsidiaries in the heavy and light engineering field. One of these subsidiaries was bought by EMI, subsequently Thorn-EMI.  Two years later Jamie led one of the first UK management buy-outs, backed by Witan Investment Trust. He sold this business very profitably three years later to his Swedish competitor on the back of having secured the largest order ever placed at that time for on-bus ticketing equipment. His company had developed the world’s first such system using microprocessors and solid state memories.

Jamie subsequently rescued an ailing electronics company in Stroud which he turned around from a heavily loss-making to an extremely profitable company. Jamie then joined an early stage electronics company in Wokingham which he grew from a very low level to a £20 million turnover business. The Company created a large development centre in South India, specializing in computer interface technology which was sold in high volume to companies such as Hewlett Packard. Jamie sold this business to a US/German company for $33 million and has since been an active Chairman/investor in small businesses in the e-Learning, Software and Data Storage markets. Jamie's e-Learning company, e2Train which was subject to a management buy-out last year, was a Deloittes Rising Star award winner and subsequently a Deloittes Fast 50 and EMEA Fast 500 winner.
