Running a business from home can be isolating, which is why Del Rochford, founder of Telecom Direct, turned to FOUNDRY Eastbourne. With over 25 years of experience in telecoms, Del provides businesses with hosted VOIP systems, internet connectivity, Wi-Fi, and CCTV solutions. Nearly 12 years since launching Telecom Direct, his business continues to grow, and FOUNDRY Eastbourne has played a key role in that success.
Like many businesses, Telecom Direct faced hurdles, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many hospitality clients shut down. However, Del adapted, pushing forward and expanding his team. Now, with two directors on board and plans to recruit another engineer, the company is stronger than ever.
After years of working remotely, Del found the lack of daily interaction challenging. That’s when he joined FOUNDRY Eastbourne, a coworking and office space that provides a professional yet flexible environment, helping business owners connect and thrive.
His experience at FOUNDRY Eastbourne has been transformative:
"FOUNDRY Eastbourne workspace is amazing! The staff are warm, friendly and welcoming. The services they have to offer are 5, and the people in the offices and coworking hub are great and very friendly too! I have been there for just over a year and cannot recommend FOUNDRY Eastbourne enough! Great team, great workspace!"
— Derek Rochford
When Del isn’t supporting businesses with cutting-edge telecom solutions, he’s staying active. A keen fitness enthusiast, he cycles, runs, and hits the gym four times a week. He’s also recently taken up climbing and enjoys spending time with his son.
