Jamie Marshall started working in IT part time while completing his A-levels, in ICT, Business studies and Art; dropping out of Art at the end of the first year. After finishing his A-levels he went on to a full-time role at the company and is now a Director there.

The company he initially started with part time was based in Roundhay and did both B2C (that’s business to consumer if you didn’t know) and B2B (business to business) IT services. In 2008 it split into separate B2C and B2B companies. The new company handling B2B services was Everon.

Jamie originally had a small shareholding in the new business. Over time Everon grew and eventually Jamie became an equal shareholder with 2 other partners. In August 2017 Jamie and the other current shareholder (Stuart Crane) went through a management buyout of the 3rd shareholder.

Moving into city centre office space it became the Everon of today. Everon now focuses on providing IT services to regulated industries, specifically with the aim of keeping clients secure and driving efficiencies using technology.

Everon has been growing steadily over the last 5 years and has recently hired their first manager to help with continued growth. Over the next few years Everon are hoping to double in size while retaining the company’s current ethos and values at their heart. Everon also have ambitions to become a certified B Corporation and give back more to their local community.

About the Podcast

Working Hours
The Story of Work in Leeds in the 2020s
What do you do?
Western Studios, Leeds presents Working Hours: a podcast series surveying the people of Leeds on their thoughts and feelings on the topic of work. I want to talk to my city about work. Why do we do it? Do we like it? What could we do differently? What will we? How does work change and how does it change us?
Leeds, the largest city in the largest county on the UK mainland, is a former imperial textile centre and is now a major UK financial centre. This series will document the city’s experiences through Lockdown, Brexit, creeping technological unemployment, new and continuing resource wars, the ongoing dismantling of the welfare state and our accelerating ecological emergency.
If you are in Leeds or from Leeds then help me to reach my target of interviewing 1000 Loiners over the 2020s. Let me ask you, what do you do?
