How Gradwell Started
“Gradwell” comes from our co-founder, Peter Gradwell. Whilst studying Computer Science at university, Peter bought a server and quickly realised that he could become a host for domains, websites, and email for lots of customers.
Peter had some colleagues who were based in other locations. He found that he could speak to them using a new technology called VoIP, saving tonnes of time and money. He quickly realised that SMEs like his were crying out for this same service. So, from 2002 onwards, Gradwell built its own VoIP phone network, now used by over 8,000 businesses.
