Why is your company located in Newtown - or why did you decide to grow your business in Newtown?
Quickcomm was started in Newtown because I lived in town. The company was originally
started in a room over my garage.

Can you tell me about your experiences with Newtown in terms of growing from a home office to Berkshire Road to Turnberry Lane (world wide) why Newtown?
Quickcomm originally started in a room over my garage. After a couple of years the business was growing and it required me to hire more and more people. We reached a point where we needed more space and because most of the employees live within a half hour radius of Newtown, we decided to move to another location in town. In 2002, we moved into office space at 13 Berkshire Road. We originally had 2500 sq ft, but within a year we expanded to 3500 sq ft. A year later we grew to 5000 sq ft. By 2006 we ran out of space again so we took an additional 3500 sq ft in the building next door. At that time we realized that we were growing at a pace at which we needed enough space for the long term. We started to look for a commercial building lot in Newtown and some of the surrounding towns. We researched the different options available and found that the building lot on Turnberry Lane combined with a tax incentive program that Newtown offered was the perfect situation.

How long has your company been in Newtown?
I founded TnT Expense Management in 1999. In October 2010, TnT was acquired by Vodafone, the world’s biggest telecom carrier. On the same day, Vodafone acquired Quickcomm Software Solutions and in November 2011, TnT and Quickcomm merged to form Quickcomm, Inc.
