About befused

befused is the blog of web developer and business owner Blair Wadman.

I am originally from New Zealand and moved to the UK, after a year long stint in Australia, 12 years ago. I am now married with two amazing children and live in South West London.

I first developed his interest in the web whilst studying business and economics at Lincoln University (NZ). The web was in its infancy in those days, but the potential was obvious.

My first exposure to the web in a commercial sense was during my time as the Operations Manager for 3rd Party Sales at Onetel (then part of Centrica). Part of the role of the 3rd Party sales department was to manage the commercial relationship with many online sales channels, including affiliate networks like Buy.at and large online operations like uSwitch, Simply Switch and The MobileShop.

After leaving Onetel in 2004, I worked for one the UK's leading online brands, uSwitch. I ran the broadband product as the Broadband Product Manager. This role was as varied as they come and included managing the commercial relationship with the UK's leading broadband providers, negotiating commercial contracts, maximising the revenue from uSwitch.com, and acting as a media spokesperson for the company.

Now I is a full time web developer. I own a consultancy and development company called Wadman Consulting Ltd. I am active in the Drupal community, an individual member of the Drupal Association and a member of the Professional Contractors Group (PCG).
