History
IO1 was started by John F Galvin and Jonnie Russell after they worked together for a number of years in the corporate sector. After spending years building large scale systems they wanted to get out and have a go at building the stuff they always wanted to build for customers who want to be at the forefront of their marketplace.
They have steadily over the last 4 years build up an extremely strong team who have focused on developing processes and systems that produce stunning results for our clients.
