Rob Wilmot

Rob co-founded Freeserve in 1998, leaving the business in 2001 after seeing it through flotation and eventual £1.6bn sale to Wanadoo. It was whilst building Freeserve that Rob first became interested in social media (it just wasn’t called that back then.) Now, as a director of Quba, BCS Public Relations new media partners, Rob evangelises about social media and helps clients navigate the possibilities and potential pitfalls of this social phenomenon.
