  • Summary

  • Hi, I'm Matt Bruce (https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-bruce-85626b41/) , Founder and CEO of Bruce & Butler (https://www.bruceandbutler.com/) , a leading Data Protection & Cyber Security service provider based in the UK. After training as an accountant, I took the bold decision to quit the job I loved to start Bruce & Butler in December 2014, aged just 26. I believed that with the advancing pace of technological change and the emergence of Cloud, Big Data,  AI & ML the compliant, secure and ethical processing of data would form a top corporate risk in the future and require assurance protections in place. Within weeks of trading we won our first client, which was a global marketing agency. This channel will be focused sharing the behind the scenes story of Bruce & Butler through my eyes and will welcome special guest business owners, CEO's and Entrepreneurs to share their experiences (both positive and negative) on our Podcast too! I will make sure we provide complete transparency, value and insight into what it is really like to run your own business.
