Control, Alternate or Delete

Small Business, Technology and Melbourne. Hosted by two 15 year veterans of the IT Consulting industry who want to help Small Businesses grow and prosper.

Hosted ByLachie Dixon & Matt Sutherland

Established from a desire to fill the void in the Podcast world talking all things Small Business and Technology with practical guidance and ideas on how to grow small and medium sized businesses based in Melbourne.

Lachie started his IT career in technical support before quickly moving into Service Team Leadership, Account Management and his current passion which is Marketing and Customer Experience.

Matt kicked off his career in IT performing warranty repairs on laptops before moving into Systems Administration and Technical Consulting. That had a natural progression into managing a Cloud Services offering before moving into Leadership roles around Service Delivery, Sales and Marketing.

Having worked together for almost 10 of the 15 years in IT, they are definitely sick of each other and not sure why they decided a podcast would be a good idea!
