Michael Cheung, Leicesters' Successful Entrepreneur
26/10/2009 Leicestershire: Michael Cheung is an example of success that shines out in contrast to the current economic pessimism. Born and raised in Nottingham it could be said that business is in his blood. On arrival from Hong Kong in the early seventies his parents set up their own successful business. Says Michael, “My early years were spent in a community where owning and running your own business was the norm. It certainly made me think about what I might want to do in the future.”
Michael’s interest in IT started whilst at school and despite his self confessed aversion to anything ‘too academic’ his educational record is most impressive. Progressing through BTEC Computing (with distinction), an HND (first) and emerging with an upper 2:2 degree it is obvious that he has talent. But if talent was the only requisite, then his story would not be so interesting!
“When I first left Uni I started working for Findel Education. I progressed quickly and started overseeing the design, development and building of websites for over 15 international brands,” says Michael. Read the rest of this entry »

Leicestershire Big Switch Off Campaign
This week saw the Big Switch Off campaign hit Leicestershire and Rutland. The energy efficiency campaign encourages both businesses and non-businesses to switch off unnecessary electrical equipment and lighting to save energy and cut CO2 emissions.
“Everyone has a part to play in the Big Switch Off,” says local serial entrepreneur Michael Cheung of DVD Blu-ray Duplication. “The Energy Saving Trust suggests that over £1 billion worth of energy is wasted by leaving appliances on standby and the Carbon Trust estimates that around 60% of energy, amounting to a staggering £180 million, is wasted by office equipment left on standby. The Big Switch Off aims to address this issue and encourage local organisations and households to reduce their energy use and ultimately their costs.”
