Founder & Owner
Industry pioneer with over 40 years of experience in IT and the internet
Jon Morby, the founder and owner of FXRM originally started in IT as far back as 1982, and was one of the UK (and Europe's) main importers of both email and echomail for the fidonet network of amateur bulletin boards, running the fidonet.org ↔ Internet gateway from 1985 through to 1994.
Although enjoying a successful career in Stock Broking working out of the Birmingham Stock Exchange, Jon felt the real future was in the Internet; and after some persuasion by Demon's then Managing Director Cliff Stanford, Jon joined Demon Internet Ltd, initially responsible for their Birmingham Point of Presence (PoP) from 1993 to 1995 and then moving to London to supervise Demon's growing technical support team.
By the time Jon finally left Demon in January 2000 he was their Advanced Technologies Manager responsible for managing the development and implementation of the next generation systems which Scottish Telecom (now Thus PLC) and Demon would be rolling out over the next 3-5 years – a far cry from his original days running a support desk of 5 staff!
