Creative Solutions North East Ltd was set up by Keith Blakeman in 2009 after Keith was made redundant as an IT manager in a multi million pound food distribution business when the company went in to administration.

After applying for various positions Keith decided that it was time to take control and reluctantly started to set up in computer repair. An area that although he had ample experience he did not enjoy. After a few months Keith was presented with the opportunity to create a website for a business with a turnover around 100 million pounds.

He produced a mock website for inspection by the client who approved the initial design. With the client clearly impressed by his work Keith decided that web design should be the main focus of the business and not computer repair.

From this point Keith started work on building the business as a web design company. After a few short months Keith started to secure some impressive clients and completed deals with various companies completing websites on their behalf.

With the work load increasing at a rapid pace Creative Solutions North East Ltd took on some new staff. The staff we have employed to date have all been unemployed, one of which had been on benefits for over 7 years. Keith is still seeking new work and successfully securing a number of large contracts resulting in the company looking to employ yet another web designer in the North East.

As a business we are proud to put back in to the community and offer websites to certain organisations for cost.

Keith believes that life is about give and take, as is business and so far this philosophy has proven to be the success of Creative Solutions North East Ltd.
