Hellios – Collaborative Supplier Information Management and Why Technology Can’t Do Everything! (Part 1)

Colin Maund, founder of Hellios, is always interesting to talk to and we enjoyed catching up with him a couple of weeks ago in Oxford. The firms’ office is just off the A34, a couple of miles west of the city, with spectacular views (except for the pylons) across to the dreaming spires from the fifth floor of the “Seacourt Tower.”  (A plug for The Fishes too, a very impressive gastro-pub nearby where we had a quick but very enjoyable lunch.)

Maund was one of the driving forces behind Achilles for many years of course, but after leaving that firm in 2012 he started Hellios, which works in a similar field of supplier information and risk management albeit in different sectors and with a new business model. So, how is it going, we asked him.
