Richard Eaton

Technologist & Speaker

About Me

Having worked in the technology business for over 30 years I have a huge range of experience and skills. I had my first commercial software published at 14 years old, was involved in the first home digital satellite receivers, have run web development companies, wrote the first TV-commerce software in the UK, and worked on innovative Cloud technologies in the USA before the phrase Cloud had even been coined.

I currently run Appware where we build amazing Mobile Apps for smartphones. Our work has been recognised by awards & has been featured on BBC TV, Radio, and in the national media.

More recently I've had great feedback after sharing my stories and opinions at events all around the UK. I'm told that I speak with passion and talk about the real world use and benefits of technology rather than just the geeky stuff. All delivered in a fun style and often wearing my trademark flat cap or Google Glass :)

Testimonials

Here are a handful of testimonials from people who've heard me speak at various events.

"Interesting, engaging, funny, and full of great creative tips that can be used in day to day business. For a self-confessed 'tech geek' he also has the rare ability to make the complex sound so simple."

Nick Kira
That Writing Chap

"Richard delivered an accomplished pitch (in his trademark Yorkshire flat cap!), so much so that Appware were crowned as one of the winners of APPtitude by the panel of industry experts.”

Brendan Tannam
Innovate York

"Our students were captivated by Richard's excitement and passion for all things tech and enlightened by his revelations. So much so we've asked him back to speak to our students again this year!"

Sharon Duce
Leeds City College

"Richard spoke with a level of passion, knowledge and humour that kept the room captivated by what he was saying. A rare combination which leaves me with no hesitation to recommend him as a great speaker for any event"
