William Beckett

William Beckett has led an extraordinary career in business over the past 50-odd years, after leaving Eton and a spell in a cavalry regiment defending Germany from the Russians in tanks. He worked for large and small hi-tech companies developing radical new systems and products, amongst them the very first commercial e-mail system, before managing the development of some of the first British multimedia products for Virgin, destined for the home and school markets. He then started his own company to produce a multi-player version of Cluedo® running on a PC or Mac, that was filmed in a real house with human actors and a real environment, to provide a unique game experience that sold well for more than 20 years. He and his business partner went on to produce and market a whole raft of innovative and unique products, during which he experienced many attempts by big business and various authorities to crush or suborn his company. Latterly he has taken on the healthcare authorities with brilliant new products that will improve and save countless lives, despite the best/worst attempts by the NHS and NICE to prevent them getting market traction. This book is designed to help people avoid or overcome such traps.
