Dominic founded Square Mile in 2002, providing Wi-Fi on yachts . Within just 4 years, BT bought the company. At the same time, Dominic sold an online marine publishing business that was less than 12 months old! With a small pot of other business interests, his ultimate aim was to create a business that fulfilled his passion for the outdoors. Identifying an obvious gap in the Ski Publishing market in the 2007/8 Ski Season, InTheSnow magazine was launched. Now with the same gap existing in the summer action outdoors market, Vertical Drop Magazine is launched.

David has had a long career history in looking after the every whim of some of the UK’s most prestigious footballers. Now with a growing passion for outdoor adventure sports and having completed a plethora of marathons, half marathons, several nationwide fell races and the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge as well as sky diving and skiing to add to his adventure CV, David is perfectly placed to lead Vertical Drop Magazine into the gaping gap in the marketplace for a soft adventure, summer action magazine, using the same successful format adopted from InTheSnow Magazine and Golf News Magazine.
