Meet the team

Christian Rayner

Hi - I'm Christian and I'm the founder and CEO of ahoythere.com. I've spent the past 22 years working in the IT industry, and prior to starting ahoythere.com, I spent ten years with Microsoft Corporation. Our business is fuelled by the simple belief that both buyers and suppliers of services deserve a better deal: a more convenient and safer trading environment for buyers and an easy and affordable route to market for reputable suppliers.

Over the years, I've developed a passion for building fresh and engaging websites and have worked with a broad range of businesses from traditional 'bricks and mortar' businesses to dot coms. To see more of my work, please visit www.freshspace.co.uk.
