Start-up business DigitalDinos, run by Carl Hewitt and Reece Matthews, is preparing to move into its new office, based in Lakeside North Harbour.

The co-founders, both aged 19, created their business just over a year-and-a-half ago following a discussion at their local pub.

Up until now they’ve been working out of an old storage room.

Their mission is to provide social media marketing, websites, apps, graphic design as a genuinely affordable and effective solution for businesses both large and small.

In just over a year, they have gained a significant number of clients and are expanding into their new site, as they now offer services to clients in Windsor and London.

Managing director Carl decided to give up his Business Entrepreneurship degree after just six months of study to take on the company full time.
