 Alex came specifically to web design in early 1998 at a time when the only web design companies were Advertising Agencies' internal departments so designated.
What seemed like a good wheeze (and a convenient and quick way to
propagate pictures taken on his spangley new digital camera amongst his
Internationally-disbursed family) quickly developed into a viable
business proposition; "If these website thingies are so useful surely
companies will want one of their own..?" From this innocent proposition
has grown a web and print graphic design consultancy of global repute -
a business of which he is justly proud.
Alex’s experience prior to 1998 is as rich and varied as any young man
could wish for. Leaving Brighton College in 1983 he went straight into
the Advertising Industry (working as a photographer's assistant for the
high profile still-life and fashion photographers working out of the
famous Chalk Farm Studios) as well as undertaking numerous graphic
design contracts. The early 80's offered an extraordinary wealth of
work and experience to any energetic "multi-tasker", and Alex enjoyed
contracts in television and film before benefiting from a lengthy stint
backstage in the West End, most notably as Deputy Master Carpenter on
Les Miserables at The Palace Theatre.
Leaving the Palace in 1996 Alex moved to Los Angeles to work in the
Hollywood movie machine before returning to London in 1997 to work in
Soho's video promo industry.
All through Alex's working life he has been commissioned to deliver
high-end graphic design for print, and it was the burgeoning Internet
in late 1997 that inspired him to explore the possibilities offered
therein. Accordingly Alex sat down with two of his very closest friends
(both of whose surnames began with the letter "B", affording the newly
formed company the distinctive and memorable 3B moniker) and formed the
colossal corporate entity that is 3B (slight exaggeration - Ed.).
 Alex's most passionate interests include Motor Racing (Alex raced for a
short time in 1986 and 1987 in Formula Ford and Formula First before
parking his shiny racing car in an inappropriately violent manner half
way down the main straight at Brands Hatch), Boxing (which he is
delighted never to have participated in), Music (Alex is hysterically
tone-deaf - but loves attending live gigs), Movies, Manchester United
(and no, he's not from Manchester...), Skiing (he is acutely embarrassed
that his dear brother Jack is so obsessed with the wretched nonsense
that is Snowboarding), his 3 cats... and everything his wife, Mimi, has
to say to him... at any time of day or night...
