MiQuando hires sporting champion

MiQuando director Nigel Jones and Tony Pithers

Appointment brings energetic approach

As the old adage goes - 'healthy body, healthy mind'.

But does that translate to business?

Local booking website MiQuando thinks so, as it welcomes a former RAF physical training instructor to its rapidly expanding team.

Tony Pithers is the company's new Creator of Opportunities, meaning he's in charge of branching out - attracting new businesses to list themselves on the site. 

His background melds business and sport - having both worked for Sharp electronics and been the Great Britain Multi Event number one before moving to the Island in 2013.

Tony says 'the potential' is what excites him about MiQuando - and that 'it's the only business [he] knows of where everybody can benefit: local businesses, residents and visitors too'.
