Starting from humble beginnings – Richard Myers

Hertz Web Solutions is a UK based business, started by 21 year old Richard Myers in May 2007. Hertz Web Solutions provides individuals and businesses with web hosting, web design, site management, corporate identity services.


Richard has been interested in business from a young age as he was a National Finalist in the Young Enterprise scheme in 2003/2004; naturally he had wanted to run his own business since then. Since starting Hertz Web Solutions Richard has extended his business acumen, often having to deal with situations and scenarios many businesses wouldn’t be able to cope with. A total lack of financial support initially meant that Richard had to fund his fledgling business out of his own very meager funds; this limited him quite a lot.

Hertz Web Solutions had no choice but to exhaust all free marketing methods available, then a grant application to Hull Youth Enterprise was approved. Hertz Web Solutions now has proper funding and is a successful and profitable business. The future of Hertz Web Solutions will most definitely be in web hosting and general design working in partnership with young people in Serbia and America.

Richard states: “We currently have a small yet solid client base for all of our services/products despite being a relatively new business; we hope to grow further in the coming months by adding further products and improving our current range”.

Richard was one of the major sponsors of Global Entreprenurship Week 2010 in Hull and as part of his commitment to social responsibility hosts free of charge a number of youth enterprise partnership websites such as Badgers Sett Enterprise Challenge www.hullbadgers.co.uk and Hull’s primary enterprise programme Hull Ready www.hullready.co.uk as well as the partnership sites www.youthenterprise-hull.co.uk and www.youthenterprise.co.uk. He is also an enterprise adviser to other young entreprenurs
