JP / 01Hi, I’m Jack Pearce
I started out as an apprentice electrician in London. Since then I’ve worked in engineering, event technology and built an online business in Dubai. These days I help local businesses with their websites and Google presence.
02A bit about me
After leaving school, I started an electrical apprenticeship in London. I spent six years working on commercial sites, qualified as an electrician and finished that part of my career at the London 2012 Olympic Park.
I then moved into electrical design and studied Building Services Engineering while working full-time. That took me from major projects in London to hotels, schools and residential developments in Dubai.
I first started building websites when I joined Eventscase, an event software company. I built event websites and digital platforms for major international brands and worked there as Projects Director. I later co-founded Dizzer, where I built the platform and learned the SEO and online marketing needed to grow it.
I’ve changed industries a few times, but I’ve always liked the same sort of work: solving problems, organising the details and getting things finished properly.
03Work history
I’ve worked on construction sites, in engineering consultancies, at events for an event software company and on my own digital products.
I trained on commercial projects in the City of London and qualified as an electrician. The work covered fit-outs, testing, maintenance and larger infrastructure jobs.
My last electrical role was at the London 2012 Olympic Park, carrying out installation, testing and reactive maintenance.
I worked at Waterman Group in London and WME Consultants, now Egis, in Dubai. I designed and coordinated electrical services for offices, homes, hotels and schools.
Projects included The Atlantis the Palm Waterpark extension and the Gran Meliá Hotel. During this time, I also completed my Building Services Engineering degree while working.
At Eventscase, I worked as Projects Director and helped set up the Dubai office’s virtual event work. I later joined Jack Morton Worldwide as Event Platform Manager.
I built and managed event websites, registration, communications and live delivery for clients including Expo 2020, AstraZeneca, adidas and Siemens.
I co-founded Dizzer, a website that helped people find food and drink offers in Dubai, and ran the business as COO.
I built the WordPress platform and handled much of the SEO, content and day-to-day work involved in getting an online marketplace off the ground.
I now build websites for electricians and manage Google Business Profiles for local businesses.
It is a good fit for my background: practical work, technology and helping small businesses get more from the internet.
04What I do now
Because I’ve done the job myself, I understand the services, the terminology and what customers need to see before they pick up the phone.
The aim is to help your business show up more often and make a better first impression when people find you on Google.
05Outside work
When I’m not working, I’m usually playing rugby, travelling or spending time with my two young children.
