OUR STORY

We are a small but dedicated, family business, living and working on the island of St Maarten. Our team is led by Owner/Directors, Craig and Sheryl Nicholls along with Yuki, their white German Shepherd.
Originally from Australia, Craig and Sheryl came to St Maarten in 2016 after a 16 year stop-over in California. Our principals have worked for a number of marquee corporate enterprises in various roles in Australia, France and the USA.

Sheryl is a business administration specialist with extensive experience in Human Resources, Administration and Workflow Optimization. Sheryl has notched up over 30 years of experience working in the fields of banking and finance, manufacturing, logistics and medical equipment.

Craig is our chief technology solution specialist. After a brief seven year stint as a credentialed chef, Craig turned his attention to computers back in the late 1980’s. Since that time he has worked through various roles such as Computer Operator, Programmer, Field Engineer, Senior Software Engineer and Technical Lead. His experience has been gained working for several well known, high profile enterprise level organizations in Australia and the USA.

Craig and Sheryl moved to St Maarten in 2016, lock, stock and barrel, making this island their permanent home. Deciding to take a break from the corporate world, they purchased a small, local boat charter company which they continue to operate to this day. They look back on their experience as small business owners as an amazing experience. They take away a true appreciation of the challenges faced by small business owners operating on a small island.

Embrace the
Cloud

The cloud is here and it is here to stay. Our island and indeed our region has a healthy and vibrant broadband environment. If you are not making full use of this medium then you are living in the past where radio and print advertising was king. Return on Investment for your marketing dollar was measured by vague promises of how many people MIGHT see or hear your advert.
The internet has blown that model right out the window.

With the rise of social media and other free business listing services you don’t even need to invest in a website.

We see so many local businesses on our island that are not even taking advantage of the basic, free benefits that the internet can provide.

to get your business online
